In the corporate world, politics and attitude are just as important as skills. There was an article I've read in the Harvard Business Review citing an excellent performer who was eventually fired because he couldn't work with his boss. Tension was evident right from the onset of their professional relationship. Since neither had a clear understanding of each others quirks, the company suffered.

Career development plans of the past have been way overrated. You are promised one thing and you end up without being selected for the job, or maybe even for an interview. Would you like to know the real success secrets used by working women and...
