Yep, you’ve got your craft. The thing you’re really good at, that you studied or learned on the job. Your calling, the thing they hired you to do. But then there’s all that other stuff.

So here it is: your cheat code for all that stuff. The people stuff and the politics. Self-promotion and actually getting that promotion (for you or for someone you manage). Conflict, characters, and “difficult personalities.” (Especially when that personality is your own!). How to manage your manager and how to be a better manager.
