Publisher Description

Some people are simply great at their job. They always seem to say the right thing; do the right thing. They are mentioned in every conversation. Everybody likes them. They get promoted. They get pay rises. They get along with the boss. And somehow, they do all these things without being unpleasant, breaking much of a sweat or seeming to put in excess effort. And when they are offered another step up the corporate ladder or a fabulous new job, no one is surprised. After all, they have 'potential' written all over them. How do they do it? Do they know some secret we don't? Yes, they know The Rules of Work. These rules aren't about how to do your job, day-to-day (assuming you are pretty good at that already). The Rules of Work are about how you are seen to be doing it. They are about how you appear to others. And they are about helping you to achieve the success you richly deserve. The first edition of The Rules of Work became a global phenomenon, topping bestseller charts around the world. This new, even better, edition includes 10 brand new rules to take you further, faster. These rules are the guiding principles that will improve both what you do and how you do it, giving you the unmistakable air of confidence that will win you admiration, respect, and the next promotion. With The Rules under your belt you'll have the edge in everything you do, without having to compromise your principles.

Rules of Work

These Rules are simple, effective, and practical. Also found Rules of Management from the same author very helpful.

TouchOfGray ,

An honest primer on corporate ladder climbing

Forget the theoretical etiquette and work ethic preached by career counselors who never worked in a corporate school yard. They underestimate the significance of inner circles and overemphasize the value of individual contributions.

More than ever, corporations exist to satisfy short term shareholder expectations; loftier aspirations and employee welfare are secondary. Popular performance management systems force solid contributors into believing they are underperformers because the available incentives are limited and the distribution is predetermined. This forced ranking creates inner-company competition, causing some individual's to behave deceitfully.

This book will coach you on how to successfully manipulate others and fake sincerity in order to earn the favor of those who hold the purse strings. It deserves five stars for its honest revelations of today's workplace but I give it one star for promoting such behavior.

Trite, obvious, boring, dated

I'm sorry that I wasted my money on this collection of conventional wisdom. Kind of like a time capsule from the 50s.
