About the Author

Dan Rust is the founder of Frontline Learning, an international publisher of corporate training resources. His award-winning keynote speeches and workshops focus on employee engagement, productivity and career management. In “Workplace Poker” he uses a wide variety of real-life stories that will be familiar to everyone who has ever faced a setback, complication, or challenge in the workplace—whether it’s a difficult supervisor, flawed co-worker, sudden business downturn or just plain bad luck—and offers proven guidance and strategies for successfully handling them.

While the book starts out with great advice regarding office politics, it is ultimately about so much more than that. This is really a complete master class in career management.”
