The Real Rules of Power & Corporate Success: Why Hard Work is not enough & What Actually Gets You Ahead (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798244462944)

If you work hard, deliver results, and still feel overlooked for promotion - this book explains why, and what to do about it.

If hard work was enough, this wouldn't be happening.This book exists because something quietly breaks at mid-career, and no one tells you what replaces it.
The Real Rules of Power & Corporate Success is written for capable professionals who are doing many things right-yet feel stuck, invisible, or unsure what to fix next. This is a practical guide to career advancement, workplace influence, and navigating office politics without compromising your integrity.

It shows you:

• Why efforts alone stop working after a point
• Why sincerity and silence can hurt careers
• Why some leadership advice sounds noble-but fails in real organizations
• How power and influence actually work, without politics or manipulation

This is not a motivational book. It doesn't offer shortcuts or comfort.

It offers clarity. Clarity about what's holding you back. Clarity about what to unlearn. Clarity about how to grow without losing your values.

If your career cannot remain the same for the next five years, this book will help you change it.

Read the book. Take ownership. Grow consciously.
