- “Situation setting is your ability to be very observant and read your boss quickly.”
- “There are going to be two or three high-visibility projects that the boss will be assessed on. So the subordinate (i.e., the potentially high potential) makes certain to contribute in a significant way to those two or three outcomes.”
- “Bosses have a couple of stylistic imperatives which they may not articulate to you.”
- “So in the first 30 to 90 days, your new boss has already assessed you – ‘are you meeting my style?'”
