The people who hold the reins of my future at the company are my superiors.

My colleagues are my competitors, and my subordinates are potential competitors.

The people I need to build good relationships with in my work life are my superiors.

The Importance of My Work Life

Superiors >>>>>> Colleagues >> Subordinates

Generally, the higher you climb in your work life, the lonelier and more desolate it becomes.

Approaching a lonely executive with a drink from the pantry

"Let's have a 'life counseling' session."

'Executive, I have a concern. Please help me design my future for development!

There is no one around with the insight of the Executive.'

If you feel awkward going in during the day, it's also a good opportunity at a company dinner.

Everyone likes to have someone who acknowledges them.

'Someone who recognizes my insights'

'They think so highly of me that they're willing to counsel me on my career path'

It's pretty satisfying to be perceived as a wise elder or to feel like you're on their side.

It's more effective than flattery on the Executive's birthday, like, "Thank you for being born."

Our goal is not to succeed in our work life,

but to make powerful people in the workplace our allies, giving us peace of mind and time.

Our goal is not a life of bondage, but a 'free' life.
