READING THE ROOM
The evidence never tells the whole story. Neither do your colleagues.
Interpret half-truths. Watch for tells. Vote with less certainty than you would like.
ONE MOVE AHEAD
Predict what they do next — before they do it to you.
Who votes where. Who protects whom. Which accusation is a trap laid for you.
