Rules of Work
Autor Richard Templaren Hardback – 30 apr 2005
Ask yourself, how do some people seem to be just great at their job? They glide effortlessly onwards and upwards through all the politics, the backstabbing, the system, the nonsense that goes on. They always seem to say and do the right thing. Everybody likes them. They get pay rises and promotion. And somehow, they do all these without breaking much of a sweat or seeming to put in excess effort.
Is there something they do that we don’t? Is it a natural ability or something we could all learn? The answer is a most definite and resounding yes. They know the 'Rules of Work'. These rules are about how you are seen to be doing your job – brilliantly and efficiently. They are about how you appear to others – successful and confident. Now The Rules are revealed live on CD with new, never before revealed extra material.
Praise for The Rules of Work
"This is a definitive code for personal business success… Key points, concisely made, that can steer anyone through the minefield of office life."
