Every organization keeps two scoreboards. There's the one on the wall, with goals and reviews and ratings. And there's the one that actually decides: who gets heard, who gets backed, who gets the benefit of the doubt. Nobody posts the second one, and plenty of careers stall without their owners ever learning it was there.
Hacking the Scoreboard is a field guide to that second board, written by someone whose wiring never read it naturally. Drawing on twenty-five years inside large organizations, Matthew Clapp maps the rules nobody writes down: why performance isn't enough, why your work doesn't speak for itself, why sponsors matter more than mentors, and how the story about you can outlive the facts.
