Your career is a game – treat it that way.
Getting promoted is like dating – you’re either a match or you’re not (if you’re not, find a new boss).
Never talk bad about anyone (they will find out).
There’s a high probability you’ll get promoted sooner if you take a role at a different company.
Always stay positive.
Humility.
Never complain unless you plan to present a solution (but really, just don’t complain).
Office politics are real. Learn the psychology and motivation of your co-workers to gain influence.
Your job title doesn’t mean you know everything – maintain the mindset of a student.
Leadership visibility is often more important than the quality of your work.
Learn to say no to people (even your boss). If you keep a roadmap of priorities and your boss asks you to do something, kindly tell them you can’t unless you de-prioritize one of your current tasks.
Always stay calm.
Ownership is everything.
Meetings, lots and lots of meetings.
Every job has things we dislike…a different job will have different things we dislike (The grass is never greener, unless somebody else wants to pay you 30% more, then it’s probably greener).
