Politics @ Coffee Machine

Politics doesn't start in meeting rooms. It starts at the coffee machine. In Politics @ Coffee Machine, Sandeep Chavan-consultant, researcher, and reluctant witness to corporate chaos-steps into XYZ Corporation to deliver a leadership seminar. But before he reaches the stage, he meets the office's sharpest observer and most unfiltered philosopher: the Coffee Machine. What begins as a routine caffeine stop turns into a witty, revealing, and unexpectedly profound journey into the unwritten laws of workplace behavior.
The Coffee Machine-equal parts barista, therapist, and thermodynamic sage-breaks down corporate life through the physics of energy, consequence, and human intention. Across ten humor-filled chapters, the machine exposes the "hidden field" that shapes every organization:. The Warm-Up Brew - When Silence Smells Like StrategySilence isn't absence-it's camouflage. Every pause contains a pending consequence..
Espresso of Ego - The Hierarchy HierarchyPressure reveals character; steam amplifies noise. Leaders burn when they confuse heat with impact.. Latte of Loyalty - Warmth Without WeightLoyalty fueled by proximity melts fast. True loyalty stabilizes the field, not the ego.. Brewing Rumors - The Invisible NewsroomRumors aren't poison-they're unrefined curiosity. A truth-bean roasted by emotion becomes an entire three-season drama..
The Decaf Zone - Post-Ambition EveningsBurnout is emotional caffeine crash. What remains after achievement is residue, not fulfillment.. Sugar of Success - The Sweet MythRecognition gives visibility-not value. The silent contributors keep the system alive.. The Bitter Grounds - When Politics PercolatesManipulation is a disturbance that always returns to the source. Office karma has a perfect memory..
Filter of Feedback - Truth Without SugarFeedback is neither mirror nor verdict-it's a filter showing what still clogs your clarity.. Steam of Change - Generations, AI & AlgorithmsMachines may upgrade, but meaning must evolve. Efficiency without essence creates soulless systems.. Caffeine & Consequence - The Physics of InfluenceEvery act leaves a ripple. Organizations are energetic ecosystems, where awareness-not authority-aligns the field.
In this narrative of humor, sharp insight, and corporate self-awareness, the Coffee Machine delivers one final truth before Sandeep steps on stage:"Don't teach leadership; brew awareness."Whether you're a manager, employee, founder, HR professional, or survivor of meeting-induced fatigue, this book offers something rare: perspective. A chance to laugh at the chaos, understand the energy behind it, and walk back into work less reactive, more aware, and a lot more human.
Politics @ Coffee Machine is not a management theory book. It's not satire alone. It's a mirror-warm, honest, and occasionally bitter-served one cup of clarity at a time.
