Rule #11: Micromanage. Thats the only tried and tested real management technique. Common you know you want to! . Those who done believe that are just stupid.
Rule #10: Make processes and chastise everyone who breaks the process. You and only you should be the maker and breaker.
Rule #9 : Everyone is running against a deadline. If you Dilly Dally enough and, to meet their deadlines, their superiors will at some point agree to all your terms – no matter what cost – and call it a “short term” solution with no concrete term defined.
Rule #8 : Push the ball in others’ court – you dont have to make sense doing it. You can always challenge them – “oh! if that didnt make sense you should have let us know, because ball was in your court”.
Rule #7 : Never miss an Oath. Take an Oath, sign an Oath. It makes you look good and no one holds you to it.
