How to Survive in
an Organization is an unusual book. It
charts a never-before course for the "ways and means" of functioning
in a large organization, public or private, profit or non-profit. In
the world of excessive wordage and visual manipulation called "spin,"
the imagery presented in the organization is often illusory, even
bordering on myth. Factor in human behavior, which is not always
predictable nor benign, and you have a setting that demands
understanding. As that understanding is presented to you the
reader- particularly if you have any organizational experience- your
head will nod in agreement and wonder, as you turn the pages..

"Think of this book as being like a jungle survival guide.
There are things you must learn about being in a jungle:
such as never run from a jaguar, walk toward it shouting
and clapping your hand, always run from dangerous snakes
and stay away from most insects. There is no shortage of
jaguars, snakes and insects in organizations; however,
unfortunately for you, they disguise themselves better."
-- James Heaphey
"How
To Survive In An Organization is for
the
realist who is willing to look
at organizational life
as it really is and is anxious
to find a way to
survive and succeed."
