Those who are veterans at it can still improve on theirs, especially when riding out the recession.
Do not insult and or undermine your immediate boss or your boss period. Ultimately it is always about power struggle and is as old as time; mix in egos with power and you have a lethal combination.
Most importantly keeping a cool head works wonders, never try to have the last word if you are a 'minion', it has no weight and the 'minion' will lose.
Being courteous and always open to flexibility does wonders, and believe me; the 'boss' will most likely 'stick their neck out' or go out on a limb on your behalf. They can make things work out for you.
If you are following the so called reality show, this much is true; the dynamics of the professional relationship rings very true indeed.
Case in point, Kelly- founder of the public relations firm, People's Revolution- will do almost anything for the central character of the show, the level headed soft spoken girl , Whitney. Which also means reprimanding her for her own good.
Then you have Olivia, an absolutely ravishing Upper East princess who is super sharp, speaks her mind and a little conceited, which unfortunately does not fare well with her immediate boss Erin, Director of Public Relations at ELLE magazine, when she rubs her the wrong way from day one. So every step of the way Olivia is met with nightmarish, resistance from Erin.
Not a wise move at all, and can almost be fatal for one's career.
So always play your cards well people, it is ultimately not about how great one is at their job but how you deal with the powers that be who are responsible for your well being or future.
If conflicts do arise and there is no resolving the problem then it is time to move on, only when there is another job waiting; otherwise forget it and stick it out.
Hope this advice is heeded, and serves you well people.
