Ten important things a
subordinate should avoid:
- Don't sit still for being half informed about your assignments. If you aren't clear on what is expected in the job, press for complete answers up front.
- Don’t go beyond your authority without pressing reasons.
- Don't be too brash, cocky, clubby or, too shy and deferential.
- Don't waste any time rewarding your friends or punishing your enemies in company time and with company resources.
- Avoid pressing your own favourite personal or social crusade which is unrelated to the purposes of the job in company time.
- Don't jump outside the existing channels.
- Don't keep quiet about genuine wrongdoing simply to follow orders of an immediate superior. If there is lawbreaking, blow the whistle.
- Don't conceal bad news or gloss over a bad result by fudging figures or facts.
- Don't ever enter into fights or vendettas on the job.
- Don't bluff. Never aim a gun unless you are willing and able to pull the trigger.
