  Nice article

  Most if the aricle is common sense. Of course, these facts are the things I usually forget. It's nice to be reminded that these issues are simplier than you "over think".

  to the writers @ bnet.
  
  All your articles are mind blowing & awsome. As said in above posts, its all about common sense & small tricks which are blur to the majority of us. Your work on this site (especially the content & the design) is worth an applause and much of appreciation. Good job done here & worth a referal. Keep the good work up & cheers.

  Managing Up

  Excellent article! I really appreciated the part about underlings. I have had them communicate the WRONG thing to the boss and that takes a lot of undoing!

  Sixth myth: You can take everything he throws at you

  Conventional wisdom:
  Your experience and office politics know-how will help you dodge any situation.
  
  Why it's a myth:
  IT's not you. did you notice that it takes two to communicate ?
  there should be a 'pong' in response to your 'ping'.
  
  Try this instead:
  if anything else fails, Get yourself a different job. to let yourself be eaten by bureaucracy lions won't get you into 'Office paradiso'.

  5 myths dispelled--training your boss

  Mr. James,
  
  A good piece! I'm currently working in a small, intimate office, where I'm second in command to an up-and-coming Y-Gen boss with only two other staff. I've quickly learned that honest communication beats all other "cards" in the deck, like owning up to mistakes with my ideas for solutions, and expressing frustration with "I" language rather than "you" blaming. Also, when co-workers see you won't join willy-nilly on the boss-bashing wagon, you will develop the discovery that you are a loyal person, and co-workers aren't immune to "managing sidewards."
