The point about networking up and down the organization is a great reminder! My first job was on Wall Street. As a young group, we were always very respectful and accommodating to all of the “very important” people we served. It would have been easy to act self-important around the under-valued groups in the organization.

However, as it turned out, our most crucial allies were in the copy room. We often relied on them for last minute work as a result of demands from higher-ups.

Our “you win more with sugar than with vinegar” approach to working with everyone in the organization resulted in some miraculous turn-around times and helped earn our group a great reputation (which helped at bonus time)!

Thanks, as always, for the insights!
