May 6, 2005 -- Ms. Burkhart gives it to the reader straight: The sad but true reality is that upper management does not want the lowly employees to know too much. Knowledge breeds power,
which employees use to demand accountability, equal opportunity, fair labor practices, and all sorts of other problems for those sitting on top. Management understands that it's better to
keep those pesky little monkeys in the dark and down on the jungle floor where they can't learn much.
But that's not going to work anymore, thanks to The Monkeys at the top of the tree. Within its pages, employees will learn such secrets as:
- What the corporate structure really looks like
- How to use the interview and selection process to the one's advantage
- The unspoken "rules" the boss doesn't want employees to know
- How to make sure a performance review is performed fairly and effectively
- What legal rights an employee has when discriminated against
- How to protect oneself in a disciplinary review process
and so much more.
At just 83 pages, The Monkeys at the Top of the Tree wastes no words in getting out its message. Compact enough to carry in a purse or pocket, employees can easily take it with them to
the job, using it as a handy reference. With its concise, well-written, and logical approach, The Monkeys at the Top of the Tree is the ultimate guide for navigating successfully through
the corporate jungle.
