“潜规则”之职场八条

3. Never sit by the CEO when he comes to visit. 别急于跟高层领导套近乎

You walk into a conference room. The CEO, fresh off the plane, is there. Say hi, introduce yourself, and then sit at least two seats away. There are better ways to get face time. Plopping yourself down by the big guy (or gal) will do nothing for your career and everything to draw sideways glances and post-meeting sniping.

4. Never use your position as an enabler. 别滥用职位带来的“特权

Here's a classic example. In many companies, how late you arrive for a meeting depends on where you stand on the food chain — the higher you are the later you arrive and the less likely others are to complain, at least openly. Never use your position to enable discourteous, rude, or insensitive behavior. Everyone notices — and everyone resents it.

5. Never fail to two-way mentor. 要受于人也要授于人

You have a mentor. Great! Mentors can provide motivation, be a source of ideas, provide counsel and guidance. So pass it on. Mentor someone below you. Otherwise everyone knows you take like a bandit but give like a miser. Think of it this way: You may aspire to someone's position, but at the same time someone aspires to yours. A sub-set of this rule: If you want a great mentor, first be a great mentor.

6. Never "borrow" someone's idea. 别盗用别人的点子

Business owner, CEO, supervisor, entry-level employee… doesn't matter. Always give credit where credit is due. Steal an idea and the victim never forgets. And don't fall back on the old, "Well, they work for me, and we're a team… so I was just raising the idea on behalf of the team." No one goes for that excuse but you.
