Strive for a horizontal career, not an upward one. Become a professional, be indispensable in your field. Do not strive for general's stripes, but for victories in all battles.

Control from anywhere. You need to be able to manage any object, even if it is not subordinate to you. Competence, energy, and will will make you a leader and give you real opportunities to influence things.

Rejoice in failure. You need to find the silver lining in any defeat and use it. Anyone who knows how to take a punch will not go astray. It is failure that allows you to get to know yourself better.

Learn from everyone. Even a small child uses interesting techniques to control his parents. Watch, analyze, learn. There is no such person who has nothing to learn.

 Set a big goal. Without this, you cannot become a great manager. Adi Dassler started out in a small workshop, deciding to shoe and clothe the sports world. Today, Adidas products are known all over the world.

Don't complain and don't ask. You do business not with those who whine and beg, but with those who offer. Make it so that you are offered (remember the advice of Bulgakov's Voland).

To be, not to seem. A business person should strive for inner well-being first and foremost; it's easy to get used to ostentation, but hard to get rid of it. And respect yourself. Your own dignity is an invaluable capital.

Strive to realize the interests of others. It's not enough to consider other people's interests, you have to act on them. The best partner is the one to whom you offer favorable conditions.

Know how to obey. An ideal subordinate always manages his manager. The latter holds on to such an assistant and meets their wishes. If you don't learn to obey, you can't lead.

Your strength is in your team. This commandment needs no comment.
