Always make superiors look smarter than you, What I Have learnt From 48 Laws Of Power #law 1 never outshine the master

in #philosophy7 years ago

When your boss comes across a problem she can’t solve on her computer go to him and as you fix it say: See? "That’s how you do it. No problem, I’m happy to help!"

The one thing people in a position of power don’t want is to look powerless. But when you flaunt your skills right in front of them, that’s exactly what happens. The French minister of finance under King Louis XIV, Nicolas Fouquet, paid for that lesson with a life in prison. When he threw an excessive party at his chateau in favor of the king, the king accused him of stealing, for no one man could legally be that wealthy, and threw him into prison.So instead of showing off how good you are, make your boss look like he's the smartest person in the room, even if you know she isn’t. Give away credit and you’ll be given responsibility in return.

i'd like to hear from you , tell me what do you think in the comments
