Corporate Chameleon: Five Rules for the Game Nobody Tells You You're Playing

Employees are a mechanism for other people's success.

That's it. That's the whole book.

Everything else, the values poster, the engagement survey, the Town Hall where the CEO talks about family, is negotiation around the edges of that one sentence.

Corporate Chameleon is five rules for the game nobody tells you you're playing. The ones that don't appear in the onboarding manual, the company values statement, or anyone's LinkedIn post about their transformative journey. Written by someone who spent thirty years watching these patterns play out across industries, continents, and more org charts than he cares to remember.

The people who thrive are not the ones who work hardest or care most. They are the ones who understand the rules.
