// October 24th, 2007 // Career, Guides

1. Read Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. TWICE.

2. Never annoy the assistants in the office. They can make your life unbearable.

    • Knows Where the Bodies are Buried

    • Everybody’s Social Butterfly

4. Acronyms are not your friend. Not when you don’t understand them, and photoshop discount software not when you throw them around trying to look intelligent.

5. Read up on learning styles. The way a photoshop discount software person collects, interprets and processes information affects how they behave in a photoshop discount software conversation with you, how they interact with others in meetings, and photoshop discount software how quickly and violently they will try to shoot down and photoshop discount software bury your cool new idea.

6. Figure out the conversation nodes in the office. Where do people hang out and exchange information? The office kitchen? Starbucks down the street? Twenty years ago, your photoshop discount software best bet of learning the latest corporate rumour was by hanging out with the photoshop discount software senior executives as they had a smoke on the sidewalk.\

7. You have not explained your idea well enough. Whether you’re twenty or forty, you’re the photoshop discount software new person in the office. You need to make reference to photoshop discount software the past ideas, experiments, and failures of your new colleagues if you photoshop discount software expect them to engage and understand what you’re trying to sell.

8. Always dress for the job you would like to have, not the photoshop discount software job you have now. In some offices, that means kicks and photoshop discount software jeans. Personally, I’ve just laid out a lot of money on suits.

9. Manage your online social networks and your offline social networks discretely. Facebook and photoshop discount software other social networks have a place in the office, in my opinion. And I’m not upset if you photoshop discount software take some time to organize your weekend while sitting at your photoshop discount software desk. But I don’t need to know the details of your personal life – either by you photoshop discount software speaking to loudly in the office, or by posting inappropriate pictures. (Hey. If the first thing you did at work was “friend” your new boss, then don’t complain when I notice the pictures.)
10. Share credit more than blame. Nothing says you’re a photoshop discount software high performer more than being able to deliver high quality work – and photoshop discount software convince others to help you do it. If you spend all your photoshop discount software time complaining about how others are keeping you from doing well – then you’re the problem.

11. Speak to people. Email and IM can only get you so far.

  2. Great post. As I’ve come to photoshop discount software realize in my work with office politics situations, look at each political conflict as a photoshop discount software process, a potential problem for resolving… and don’t take things too personally. Your suggestions were spot on, my personal favorite being #2.

    Office politics situations can photoshop discount software be crucial to business success.
