In organizations today, getting work done requires political
and collaborative skills. That’s why the first edition of this book

revised edition, leadership gurus Allan Cohen and David Bradford

updated, gives you powerful techniques for cutting through
interpersonal and interdepartmental barriers, and motivating people
to lend you their support, time, and resources.
