When I left the academic world and took a job in a large company in 1993, my dad (who had been successful in a different large company) gave me what he called "the three rules for success in business."
Rule #1: Always tell the truth.
Rule #2: As far as Rule #1 allows, make your boss look good.
Rule #3: Always be very nice to the secretaries and receptionists, because they can choose not to help you.
I've found his advice works very well. I've shared this with dozens of admin assistants and receptionists and they always laugh and agree with rule #3.
Be sure you say Thanks! to your administrative professionals today.
