A career advisor explains why many talented, hard-working people often miss out on their full career potential, revealing the tells, blind spots, secrets, and unspoken rules you need to know in order to play the game to win. While many careers have been impacted by economic downturns, failed projects, downsizing and restructuring, or just bad bosses or bad timing, we all know of colleagues who continue to rise through every tough situation. Most assume that they have an advantage that protects them—degrees from the right schools, great mentors, influential friends and family, or just better luck. But these hyper-successful professionals have faced setbacks, too. Instead of allowing challenges to derail their rise, they’ve learned how to manage them better. In Workplace Poker, Dan Rust gives you the strategies you need to accelerate your career, and prevent setbacks from stalling your progress or spiraling it downward. The trick, he reveals, is to “play the game under the game,” to think more deeply and act more strategically. If you are talented, ambitious, and hardworking, but feel your career just isn’t accelerating as rapidly as it should, or as fast as you would like it to, this book is for you. If you have been frustrated to see others (less talented, who don’t work as hard as you do) achieve rapid professional progress while your career stalls out, this book is for you. If you’ve been annoyed by those who are successful primarily because of where they went to school, or family connections, or financial resources, this book is for you. Rust gives you the insight and skills you need to transform yourself and adapt and survive any hurdle—to turn every adversity into advantage, and every struggle into strength, including: • Recognition of your own “blind spots” and what to do about them • Mastering strategic and authentic self-promotion • Enhancing your personal charm and likeability • Achieving the high energy, both mental and physical, necessary to drive an exceptional career trajectory • Developing an interest in “corporate anthropology” and the complex human dimensions of business • Neutralizing the career-stalling impact of difficult or dysfunctional colleagues • Deeply “owning” and learning from career missteps and failures In his smart, funny, relatable voice, Rust shares stories of individuals who have applied these capabilities in real world situations, and provides short, focused exercises to help you think about yourself and your own career. With Workplace Poker¸ you’ll learn how to get out of you own way, and find the success you deserve.

An honest and practical handbook that reveals important insights into relationships between men and women and work, Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman, is a must-read for every woman who wants to leverage her power in the workplace. Women make up almost half of today's labor force, but in corporate America they don't share half of the power. Only four of the Fortune 500 company CEOs are women, and it's only been in the last few years that even half of the Fortune 500 companies have more than one female officer. A major reason for this? Most women were never taught how to play the game of business. Throughout her career in the super-competitive, male-dominated media industry, Gail Evans, one of the country's most powerful executives, has met innumerable women who tell her that they feel lost in the workplace, almost as if they were playing a game without knowing the directions. In this book, she reveals the secrets to the playbook of success and teaches women at all levels of the organization--from assistant to vice president--how to play the game of business to their advantage. Men know the rules because they wrote them, but women often feel shut out of the process because they don't know when to speak up, when to ask for responsibility, what to say at an interview, and a lot of other key moves that can make or break a career. Sharing with humor and candor her years of lessons from corporate life, Gail Evans gives readers practical tools for making the right decisions at work. Among the rules you will learn are: • How to Keep Score at Work • When to Take a Risk • How to Deal with the Imposter Syndrome • Ten Vocabulary Words That Mean Different Things to Men and Women • Why Men Can be Ugly, and You Can't • When to Quit Your Job "I want to let you women in on a secret I've learned through my years in the corporate world: There is a set of unwritten rules in business and, while you may not choose to follow all of them, if you don't know what they are, you might as well be playing the game with both hands tied behind your back." --Gail Evans

OVERVIEW: HOW TO ASK THE SMART QUESTIONS FOR WINNING THE GAMES OF CAREER AND LIFE"You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else." - Albert EinsteinEver feel that you're being moved as a pawn in the games others are playing around you? Ever get the sense that you're not winning- maybe not even aware of - the subtle games of business and life going on around you . . . let alone the tricky games of career success and office politics?As one federal executive put it, "You've got to be aware of the games that are being played. You don't have to play the games yourself, but you do need to recognize when they are being played against you."GAMES (AND "GAMIFICATION") ARE REALITY!The reality is that games, probes, and subtle competitions-and not to forget office politics! -are facts of life in most organizations. You're at a significant disadvantage in your quest for career development if you fail to recognize these as games of career success for what they are, and "play" appropriately.These are not games we play for fun. These are serious career games-secret, covert games that are played not for fun, but for keeps. Covert career games that the opposing players don't tell us are in play, nor what the rules are, nor even what "winning" consists of. People skills and social intelligence are key.Interestingly, there's a new term coming into use more and more-"gamification"-that expresses that mindset of viewing career and business success as a game. In some cases, the game is about serious stuff like the organization's best direction forward. In others, it's about the struggle over budgets or promotions. In still others, it's just about office politics, as usual. When you look at work as a success game, you'll begin noticing game-like ploys like these:* strategic "disinformation" (i.e. saying or doing things to mislead opposing players on what you are up to);* pretexting (using cover stories to conceal hidden agendas);* covert actions, subterfuges, and other types of "sneaky stuff";* phony emotions, either to "friend" you, or to intimidate you;* sometimes principals operating through stand-ins. (Think of that the next time the boss asks you to sit in for her at a meeting: Maybe this isn't really a vote of confidence in you; maybe you're being set up to take the fall.)* and, of course, office politics in all its forms and nuances!KNOWLEDGE IS POWERBut if the other players don't tell us what the rules of success are in these career games, nor even put a name to their games, then how do we survive and win these career success games? How do we develop key career development skills? How? By making a habit of asking the right savvy, smart questions.What are those "smart questions"? What are the savvy questions that will boost your career and provide the help you keep your focus when you encounter games, probes, ploys and manipulations? HOW TO ASK THE SMART QUESTIONS FOR WINNING THE GAMES OF CAREER AND LIFE serves as a checklist of smart, savvy questions that will guide you to career success. Here are some of those questions (though in the book they are fleshed out with mini-case studies and additional questions useful in getting perspective and drilling in for more detail):* What are the "real rules" that operate here, beneath the coded language and disinformation? What real rules govern communication here?* Do I really need to be involved in this? Or am I being drawn into someone else's problem?* What is "winning" for me? What is winning for the others, including hidden players operating through stand-ins?* What is my best move at this point? Is a confrontation needed? If so, is now the best time?* What should I consider before taking action? Am I thinking enough steps ahead?* Are there broader opportunities hidden within this situation?* What can I learn from this situation? * Am I receiving the recognition and compensation I honestly deserve?
