    i generally live by these: Show up on time. You might think this to be humorous or facetious. But, as your career goes on, you will find there are a lot of people who cannot do this. Their plane is always late, they pick up the phone before the big meeting, they cant meet a deadline. 90% of meetings start late. When your colleagues and bosses know that you will show up when promised, they will have confidence in you, and begin to trust you. When asked a direct question, answer, Yes, No, or I dont know but will find out. Dont tell a story. Dont obfuscate. Dont repeat the question you were just asked. Dont fill the air with information of interest only to you. Answer first. Tell the story second, if you must. You would be shocked at how few people can do this. Always make full disclosure. Honesty is the best policy. Not just because it is, but also because when things get complicated, you wont be able to remember all the lies you told. If you are always honest, only your memory for the truth is at issue. Being nice is more profitable than being nasty. It takes much less energy to be nice. People want to work with you. You will be happier and so will your colleagues. Speed is important. Most people will value a quick no more than a lengthy maybe. Responding quickly is much appreciated. Run to the problem first.

    A list of guidelines given at the Wharton Business School's May 2008 graduation ceremony. I don't use lists - more of an outline kind of person, but these are worth the bandwidth.

    Those are some great rules! I would say I follow about 13 of the 15. I would think most people can say the same... there are just a few things we have trouble with throughout career and life.
