Betrayed!: 10 Things You Learn When You’re Stabbed in the Back

"Few things truly transform a human being; if any do, three stand above the rest: education, love and betrayal." So ends the introduction to Betrayed! 10 Things You Learn When You're Stabbed in the Back. Based on real events, this is not a book about what happened, but about what can be learned from a situation far more common than we care to admit in companies, in organisations and in families. If a slow, draining betrayal is taking shape around you and there is no way to avoid it, better to be ready, to recognise it, contain it or face it head-on. Writing in a candid, accessible style, and with no shortage of humour in his analysis, the author draws not only on the betrayal he lived through, but on more than thirty years running social and business projects. Call it an essay, a self-help book or a management title - or simply a few hours of thought-provoking reading. What it offers is practical: how to spot, and when prevention is no longer an option, survive episodes of betrayal, character assassination and ruthless power grabs in which you have become the obstacle.
