Be Star at Work: 7 Rules for a Big Career
Cathie Black, President of Hearst Magazines which publishes Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Harper’s Bazaar, Popular Mechanics, Redbook and other popular magazines, wrote a best selling book called Basic Black: The essential guide for getting ahead at work (and in Life).
She published an article in the Oprah Magazine as a preview of the book. There she outlines seven golden rules for having a successful career.
Rule 1: Take risks that are calculated, not crazy.
Rule 2: The worst-case scenario is rarely as bad as you think.
Rule 3: Don't personalize things that aren't personal.
Rule 4: It's best in the long run to make your life a grudge-free zone.
Rule 5: Be generous with praise—and careful with criticism.
Rule 6: Know the rules so you know which ones to break.
Rule 7: It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.
