Lesson 1. When someone asks for your help, first say no, then offer an almost impossible alternative.
Lesson 2. Even if you don't have an impact on a problem, congratulate yourself. Better show off than not to be remembered.
Lesson 3. If someone did something, take the glory on your side. It looks good!
Lesson 4. Overdue deadlines? What to do? Openly complain, maybe they will dissapear. Solutions? Someone else please.
Lesson 5. Group memory is great, avoids own responsability.
Lesson 6. Two different opinions? No issue, a third should be brought in
Lesson 6 alternative. Two doctors, three opinions.
Lesson 7. Deadline to be met by customer? Forget it! If customer needs a deadline met by your side, react yesterday!
Lesson 8. If appropoate for self use the written text (i.e. minute) as a way to 'motivate' people, but if not adequate to own needs, just forget it!
Lesson 9. Discount strategy: reduce by 50% the scope of supply
Lesson 10. If a deadline is reached prior to agreement date, don't announce the success. You may get a new task!
Lesson 11. If a critical item needs to be solved, throw another critical subject into discussion. Attention is diverted and you solve your item by not getting contra-arguments.
Lesson 12. If you miss congratulations, do it yourself in an open environment. The others are forced to react by your bluntness.
Lesson 13. To get a reaction from your customer, block his inbox with emails.
Lesson 14. We don't know what we do, but we do it with full power.
Lesson 15. Smile!
