This book written by RVG is very lucid and I advise every manager or management student to read this. Bosses may like to keep it as a tool kit to be referred to at all times.

The work culture is changing rapidly specially in the post Covid era with the digital world invading every sphere of work life. Brick and mortar offices are being replaced by virtual places and Work From Anywhere is the new norm. Yet one cannot avoid boss- subordinate interactions. Every organization has a formal evaluation and appraisal system to ensure that deserving staff move up the ladder. The work culture and systems should ensure that as one grows in the hierarchy, one imbibes the set of skills and leadership abilities that are needed to do justice to the higher position. However, there are many ways people adopt to beat the system and trip their bosses. Most of the time, the system fails to detect and people fail to notice, leading to an erosion of confidence in the organization, degradation of it's value system, and the beginning of the end of an organization.
RVG, in his maiden book shares his experiences spanning three decades and deals with various boss-subordinate interactions, how people play games to deceive the system and trip their bosses, and how one can avoid the tripping points.
