How to use this book

1. I will treat each post as a unique chapter in which I will make a specific point.
2. Each chapter can be read independently, but the best sequence will generally be from top to bottom on the index to the right
3. Treat each chapter as a tip or a rule.
4. Don't argue with me about how some rules are petty, and they shouldn't count as categories or behaviors that signal good candidature for promotions. The world isn't what you want it to be. It is what it is. And these rules are how I see it.
5. Every single rule will have it's exceptions. I will assume that your intelligence will tell you if the exception case you're in is valid.
6. No single rule is necessary. You wont - and you probably cant - follow all the rules all the time
7. No rule is specific to any business or any domain or any situation. They will work almost everywhere (See point 5).
8. All rules are about the additional "tadka" you put on the "daal". The silver foil on the sweet. The paint on the house. They are not about the foundational basics you need to succeed
9. All rules together are not sufficient to get you to 100 percent probability of promotion. They will increase the probability, but they are not a guarantee
10. Follow as many of these rules as you possibly can

Do write in if you agree or disagree with anything. I will be more than willing to engage in discussion. The idea here is to talk with people who have the ability and the desire to rise up in their organizations by helping them get the fringe rules and the basic behaviors of the game right. If I can help. I will.
