Warren &#8220;OK Ethics Founder&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In December, 2009, the Oklahoma Business Ethics Consortium featured games from the Dear Office-Politics book in presentations to audiences totaling nearly 450 attendees. We used two of the scenarios to facilitate group discussions and they certainly provided some thought-provoking opportunities. This book is a wonderful tool to use in bringing sensitive issues out into the open in a non-threatening way that results in constructive processing. I highly recommend it!<\/p>\n<p>I have personally enjoyed the book and especially love the graphics! This was one of our most successful programs and the feedback from participants has been terrific! &#8212; Shannon Warren, Founder, Oklahoma Business Ethics Consortium<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/review\/R18V0COIFHEQQH\/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm\">(Link to Amazon online review.)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.officepolitics.com\/advice\/?page_id=14\">feedback on the game&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Office-Politics\u00ae Game was invented by editor and site founder, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.officepolitics.com\/advice\/?page_id=34\">Franke James<\/a>.
