Cynical
Goodies

• Speak with authority, but expound only on the perfectly obvious.
• If in doubt, ask irrelevent questions and then change the subject.
• If a subordinate asks a pertinent question, act as if he has lost his mind, then later rephrase the question to him.
• When leaving the office, walk briskly to minimize questions from subordinates and superiors.
• Keep your office door closed to discourage questions, problem reports, and to create the air of being occupied.
