Win the Game in the office

1. Don’t look for excuses

Forget rare exceptions no boss cares why an assignment wasn’t done. It’s your job to get it done and on time.

2. Don’t pursue perfection

Getting it done well on time is much more important than doing it “perfectly”.

3. Carrying your share is not enough

Bosses value people who do their job and then look around for, create or ask for more real work.

4. Foresee problems

When your responsibilities depend on input¹ from others, check their plans and their understanding of what you’re requesting.

5. Face problems

Part of carrying your responsibilities is understanding that unforeseeable failures by others are a routine part of work life. When problems occur, no one is picking on you and you can’t excuse it as bad luck.

6. Don’t take problems to your boss

If you are lack of the authority, come prepared with solutions when you raise the problem. Even though your boss may not adopt your solutions , you’ve made an impression as a problem solver-not as a problem collector.

7. Don’t be a squeaky wheel

Don’t be seen as “ here is a problem.”

8. Choose your battles carefully

Ask yourself: how much difference the problem really makes. Is it worth making an enemy? Do I really have a chance of winning？

9. Deal directly with the people who make the decision

Dealing² with people with less authority may be easier on your nerves, but you’ll be wasting a lot of time and effort.
