Have you read Rules of Work by Richard Templar? Beautiful advise to you if you are a serious Future Leader. There are ten of them, and we already presented the first two. Here are the next two:

RULE THREE – HAVE A PLAN

• Know What You Want Long Term
• You have to have an end game – a dream
• Know What You Want Short Term
• Deadlines, prioritized tasks, basic routines
• Study Promotion System
• Look upwards to the most senior position possible
• Look at the lowest
• Plot all the steps in between
• Mark your own place
• List the steps needed to get to the most senior possible
• Develop a Game Plan
• Set Objectives
• It is almost impossible to be successful if you don’t set objectives
• Know Your Role
• Your role is how you fit into the team
• Know Your Strengths and Weaknesses
• Identify Key Times and Events
• There is no point using all your energy and power when it isn’t necessary
• Anticipate Threats
• Each threat that becomes a reality is an opportunity to grow and change
• Look for opportunities and learn to see opportunities as balls – if they get thrown your way, you have but a split second to catch them.

RULE FOUR – IF YOU CAN’T SAY ANYTHING NICE, SHUT UP

• Don’t Gossip. There is one part of this rule which is really, really simple: don’t pass anything on
• Don’t Bitch
• Moaning is pointless. It is unproductive and achieves nothing
• Compliment People Sincerely
• Be Cheerful and Positive
• Ask Question
• Use “Please” and “Thank You” a lot
• Don’t Swear. You may say anything you want at home, or in the car on your own. But at work, you don’t swear
• Be a Good Listener Good listening is a skill, a special talent that you will have to practice and learn
• Only Speak Sense. There are times when all the hard work can be devastated, destroyed, by a careless word or unguarded moment.
