1A) Don't Listen to anything anyone says.
1B) Explode when anyone criticizes you, points out a mistake you made, or tries to have any input at all. Why this is good; spontaneous hissy fits discourage creativity, loyalty and team cohesiveness. Because who wants that, right?
1C) Be a Non-Stop Talker. No one else has anything interesting to say, anyway. Note:You will have to learn how to talk while breathing both in and out.
1D) Spread lies about your staff. This will keep them in a constant state of adrenaline anxiety and they are less apt to approach you with any questions. Downside: They probably wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire. But what's the likelihood of someone setting you on fire???
1E) Never keep a confidence. If someone confides in you, make sure the whole office knows about it. Especially if it will get you ahead.
