Tips for Work

　　Know what you believe in and stick to it. Nothing loses you respect quicker than inconsistency.

　　Keep your distance. Be friendly but not over familiar. Don't confide intimate details.

　　Keep your own counsel. Don't share all your dilemmas. Even if you resolve them you'll have left the impression that you're indecisive or unable to cope with pressure.

　　Don't ask anyone to do anything you wouldn't do yourself.

　　Communicate—simply and often.

　　Keep your eye on the objective.

　　Don't get drawn into colleagues' personal lives.

　　Keep cool. Don't respond instantly or say yes to everything.

　　Keep your head. A calm presence is an invaluable asset.

　　Be good at your job. Know that you're good. Self-respect is the key. It'll show up in the way people deal with you.

　　Accept that you can't please all the people all the time—or even some of the people all of the time.
