Cinderella in business

Every once in a while, I come across books that have not only made sense but have altered my perspective of life. More recently, I had been facing problems with a colleague. For the life of me, I could not understand how to handle the petty squabbles that she would start or bringing up certain instances over and over again rather than focusing on the main issue that led to a smaller and insignificant issue. Though I had complete support of the top management of the company, I personally felt that dragging them into the issue would help me win the fight but would also diminish my value. I mean, if I can not handle a petty argument, how can they expect me to handle even more serious issues that require me to work out deals and contracts with people of temperaments that were as varied as the colors in a rainbow. Then someone I look up to suggested a book while we were talking about business, management and negotiations.

I read excepts online and got interested and then started reading the book online till I lay my hands on the book itself. Within a few chapters into the book, I realized how I was viewing things differently. From the situation with my colleague to how to affect my competitors. It was like my mind was filled with mini explosions with every page I turned and devoured.

This was like a Cinderella story of the business world where I was the one scrubbing the floor till my fairy godmother (apt here since my colleague who suggested the book is a woman) took me out of the hell-hole and transformed me into a business woman. Ok so since I have not read the complete book, let me say that my shimmering Ball-gown is here and the pumpkin is in the process of transforming. I, in the meanwhile, I'm practicing my moves for the Ball.

What's the name of the book, you ask. Well, let's just say that the name would be revealed to those who deserve to know.
