Any promising executive who wants to get to the top the sneaky way: learn how to get there without appearing to trample everyone underfoot. This kind of advice would stretch the budget of even those stratospheric members of the top flight, but we have persuaded this doyen of company politics to share their knowledge, accumulated over many years, that will allow the ambitious to reach their goal in the same way that Hilary did – quietly, effectively, deadly – and become, like Hilary, the Ninja of the corporate world.

Read and enjoy Hilary’s secrets, but don’t tell anyone else about this book. Don’t consult it openly; keep it locked away in your desk drawer. Then you can look forward to a long and fruitful career, at the expense of others.
 

Hilary believes in the traditional definition of success: power and money. Every other definition has simply been invented by those who have money and power, to try and convince you that you don’t want what they have already got. That’s less competition for them. Don’t fall for it.
