Below are the unspoken rules of starting your career off right. They are not complete, however, without the secrets that will help you live by them. In the rest of the book we will discuss how to align your behavior with these rules so that you can be successful and make an impact. Keep the rules in mind as you read this book. Treat them like a pair of lenses you put on to analyze and navigate the world. Reject, embrace, or bend the rules Figure out which rules make sense (or don’t), are worth questioning (or aren’t), or compromise your values (or don’t). Then decide for yourself whether—and when—you should reject, embrace, or bend the rules. Be aware of the difference between what’s right and what aligns with your manager’s preferences. Learn when a piece of feedback is productive and should be accepted—and when it isn’t and should be discreetly ignored. Find allies.
