Keep track of what you do; someone is sure to
ask. |
Never bring your boss a problem without some
solution. |
You are getting paid to think, not to whine. |
Long hours don't mean anything; results count,
not effort. |
Write down ideas; they get lost, like good
pens. |
Always arrive at work 30 minutes before your
boss. |
Help other people network for jobs. You never
know when your turn will come. |
Don't take days off sick unless you are. |
Assume no one can / will keep a secret. |
Know when you do your best morning, night,
under pressure, relaxed; schedule and prioritize your work accordingly. |
Treat everyone who works in the organization
with respect and dignity, whether it be the cleaner or the managing director.
Don't ever be patronizing. |
Never appear stressed in front of a client, a
customer or your boss. Take a deep breath and ask yourself: In the course of
human events, how important is this? |
If you get the entrepreneurial urge, visit
someone who has his own business. It may cure you. |
Acknowledging someone else's contribution will
repay you doubly. |
Career planning is an oxymoron. The most
exciting opportunities tend to be unplanned. |
Always choose to do what you'll remember ten
years from now. |
The size of your office is not as important as
the size of your pay cheque. |
Understand what finished work looks like and
deliver your work only when it is finished. |
The person who spends all of his or her time
is not hard-working; he or she is boring. |
Know how to write business letters including
thank-you notes as well as proposals. |
Never confuse a memo with reality. Most memos
from the top are political fantasy. |
Eliminate guilt. Don't fiddle expenses, taxes
or benefits, and don't cheat colleagues. |
Reorganizations mean that someone will lose
his or her job. Get on the committee that will make the recommendations. |
Job security does not exist. |
Always have an answer to the question, What
would I do if I lost my job tomorrow |
Avoid working at weekends. Work longer during
the week if you have to. |
The most successful people in business are
interesting. |
Sometimes you'll be on a winning streak and
everything will click; take maximum advantage. When the opposite is true,
hold steady and wait it out. |
Never in your life say, Its not my job |
Be loyal to your career, your interests and
yourself. |
Understand the skills and abilities that set
you apart. Use them whenever you have an opportunity. |
People remember the end of the project. As
they say in boxing, Always finish stronger than you start. |
