  • 确定公司运作的方向。站在镜子前，连续5遍不间断地说："这就是我们公司的未来"。身为任何企业的领导，最重要的工作就是绘制出未来的蓝图。如果你不能为大家指明方向，你就只能算是个经理而不能成为领导人。你所绘制的蓝图必须是现实可行、实质性的，能让人相信是可以实现的。即便是存在风险，你也必须敢于当机立断。
    Give direction. Stand in front of the mirror and say, "Here is our future" five times without stuttering. A leader's most important job at any organization is to lay out a road map to the future.

Your vision must be real, substantive, and something people can believe in.Have the guts to make decisions while there's still risk in them.

  • 金钱在我们文化中是一个相当奇特的话题。我们渴望打听到别人赚多少钱，本身却没洩漏的打算。薪资与身价有关，当你的薪资被公开，大家就会开始臆测你的身价到底被高估还是低估，以及为什麼你有资格领的比相同能力的人多。
    Salary information: Money's a weird topic in our culture. As eager as we are to find out what other people make, we're not as ready to divulge our earnings.

Why are you getting paid that much when another person with the same qualification earns much less?
  • 坏老板、疯狂同事、和其他办公室白痴此书的作者维琪奥利福也告诫，此举会导致绩效被低估。每当你的老闆打算给你奖金，你不会想要同事到处哭诉你并“不需要这笔钱”。避免流言的最好方法就是绝口不提。
