secrets about being an extraordinary boss, about coping with annoying

Contrary to popular belief, the business world is not that complicated.
While every industry and every profession requires specific expertise,
the truth is that the "business of business" is relatively simple.

Tips from Business Without the Bullsh*t:
- Long work hours mean less work gets done.
- Multiple studies reveal that working 60 rather than 40 hours a week
makes you slightly more productive but only for a little while. After
about three weeks, people get burned out, get sick and go absent, and
start making avoidable errors.
- What every boss wants from you.
- From your boss's perspective your real job is to make the boss
successful. There are no exceptions to this rule.
- Why your resume is your enemy.
- Only write a resume after you're talking to people inside the hiring
firm. Then, customize it to match what you've discovered that they
really what.
