Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C) Those who seek job security, fair pay, or a lighter workload do not need a network of allies within an organization to accomplish their goals. So they are much less in need of political skills than a manager who is ambitious and wants to rise through the company ranks. The ambitious manager needs supporters and can only acquire them by employing his or her political skills.
