3 Signs You Work With A Machiavellian

How do you spot a Machiavellian puppet master in your office? Look for these three red flags. 1. Information hoarding. They never share what they know unless they can trade it for leverage. 2. Strategic alliances. They only socialise with people who have power or influence, they ignore everybody else.

3. They reward blind loyalty over actual competence. A highly competent employee is a threat to their control, so they surround themselves with people who will just follow orders. If you see this, guard your work and document everything.
