Status-Spiele

This is how you become a winner in the status game! There are people who can take over any conversation within moments. Others are constantly interrupted. Some can even get a police officer to tear up a ticket, while another would rather eat their soup cold than complain to the waiter. Wherever and whenever two people meet, they either face each other on equal footing or assume different statuses - which naturally affects their communication and assertiveness. Status is a phenomenon that must always be renegotiated. As soon as people come together, the struggle for the best position inevitably begins. This book is a guide to the world of status games - how we can win the game of and with our own status in both professional and personal relationships.
