ریچارد تمپلار این بخش از قاعده های کار را با این پیشنهاد آغاز کرده است: «با دیگران جفت و جور شو!»

 

1.      Know the corporate culture. You don’t have to buy into the corporate culture- you don’t have to believe in it- all you have to do is fit in.

2.      Speak the language. If they all use geeky language, then you too must use it.

3.      Dress up or down accordingly. Unfortunately, one of the things we British don’t do well is dress casual.

4.      Be adaptable in your dealings with different people. The perfect manager is the one with the ability to spin on a sixpence.

5.      Make your boss look good. This is the kind of loyalty that other managers will admire.

6.      Know where to hang out, and when. Get your face known; get your name known.

7.      Understand the social protocols. Of course, these social protocols may be obvious- the important thing is to identify them, file them away.

8.      Know the rules about the authority. Who runs your office? I bet it ain’t the boss.

9.      Know the rules about the office hierarchy. Office protocols and hierarchies are old fashioned, petty, small minded, outdated, and yet still very much with us.

10.   Never disapprove of others. The smart mover concentrates on their own path and ignores the route others choose to take.

11.   Understand the herd mentality. Think independent, selfish thoughts.
