All good things comes to an end. That's what Dad Pierre Elliot told me, when he returned from a week skiing without my mother Constance.
So yes, even the ten commandments need to change.
I am not referring to a Biblical version, heavens no! Just our management credo which we also named the Ten Commandments to "spike it" up a bit. Here is the newest version.
1) When in doubt, create coalitions to support your POV.
2) Deflect ownership of issue by stealth by asking questions, ccing everyone possible and asking for more data.
3) Feign listening skills when you are busy.
4) Use terms like "phased delivery", "mitigating circumstances" and "bounce back supporting strategy".
5) Turn off your camera in Zoom calls, to add a dimension of secrecy.
6) Drag your feet quietly when faced with a tough deadline.
7) Use AI whenever possible, or at least talk about it.
8) Read commandment 7.
9) Respect the HR lady, that your days may be long upon the Earth.
10) The word Diversity needs to be replaced with a new word that starts with D...like deportation, or at least use a small "d" when referring to hiring people with disabilities, or people of color, Asians or Jews.

Gloria, when is your BOOK coming out?!
