Snakes and Ladders: A Guide to the Game Running Underneath Every Organization.

Every organization runs two games. The official one is in the handbook. The shadow game has different rules, different players, and different winners, and nobody tells you it exists until you are already losing it.Snakes and Ladders is for everyone who has felt the gap between how things are supposed to work and how they actually do. Whether you work in a hospital, a school, a business, a government department, or anywhere people have power over other people, you have met these people. This book names them.Thirteen archetypes. The Narcissist. The Machiavellian. The Saboteur. The Charmer. The Bully with Cover. And eight more. Profiled with enough detail that you will recognize them before the damage is done. The systems that protect them. And a clear-eyed guide to rising anyway, with your integrity intact.This is not a self-help book. It is the book nobody wrote before you needed it.
