Like a boss:
- Communicate. Pay full attention to your collaborators, be accessible, when you give an order, be kind and as clear as possible, do not despise anyone and always keep your secrets to yourself. Support your subordinates. Rejoice with them when they do well, encourage them when they are fighting, show solidarity with them when they suffer, and try to be prepared if you are to intervene on their behalf.

- Be an ally.

Face the discussions. Discussions with your classmates should be restricted to important topics. And once everything that has to be said has been spoken, forget it and move on. Be objective. Judging your peers will make you lose their affection for you. Focus on positives, downplay personal differences that are of no real value to your success and to others. Compete fairly. In a company we all compete, but if we compete fairly, we do not deserve resentment from others.
As a subordinate:
- Do your job. Nothing you do will gain the appreciation of your boss and colleagues like doing your job well. Be responsible, thorough and don't forget that being good in your profession is the fastest way to progress in your career. Be happy. A cheerful attitude helps to hide your flaws, we all prefer those who carry their difficulties with dignity. Don't be a burden. Avoid being a burden to your colleagues and bosses with questions and instructions that you don't need or with information about your activities that they don't need. Follow the rules. The result of breaking the rules is that others have to put a brake on your behavior, and this puts you in a penalty zone.
There is a quality shared by all extraordinary people which is their attitude towards life.
Adopting a positive attitude will go a long way towards making you a person that others do not try to avoid at all costs.
