How to Survive Game of Thrones
How to Survive Game of Thrones
Navigating Power Plays, Conflicts, and Politics at Work
About the Book
Every workplace has its own version of Game of Thrones. Departments battle for influence, teams clash over priorities, and individuals maneuver for recognition and power. These dynamics are not accidents—they are deeply human. Beneath every conflict lie the same primal drivers that have shaped humanity for millennia: competition, dominance, revenge, ideology, and, at times, cruelty.
This book reveals how to recognize these hidden forces at play and, more importantly, how to survive and even thrive in them. Drawing on real-world corporate examples, timeless psychological insights, and practical tools, you’ll learn how to decode conflicts, manage escalation, and navigate organizational politics without losing your health or integrity.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- The five inner demons that fuel power struggles and how they show up in modern workplaces.
- The four angels human strengths you can cultivate to counterbalance conflict.
- The seven common conflict types and how to identify them in any team or project.
- The nine stages of conflict escalation and proven strategies for de-escalation.
- Practical conflict resolution tools, including the Strategy Matrix and the Battle Map.
- Essential personal survival strategies to stay resilient when the battles rage around you.
Whether you’re a team member, leader, or consultant, this book equips you with the knowledge and strategies to keep your head—and keep it attached—when politics and power games heat up.
