There’s a game being played in every professional environment.
Corporate Swagger®: The Secret to Winning the Corporate Game reveals those rules.
Written by Rodney S. Jones, this is the book that started it all—the framework that became a movement, a certification program, and a coaching practice built around one conviction: that capable people shouldn’t have to wait years to figure out how the professional world actually works.
What’s Inside
The book is built around eight core concepts—the unspoken dynamics that determine who gets noticed, who gets promoted, and who gets passed over.
These aren’t abstract ideas. They’re practical, real-world insights drawn from over two decades of experience inside professional environments.
