Alex Rodriguez’s 3 Secrets To Career Success & Making Your Colleagues Love You Unconditionally
By A-Rod
MIAMI — Alex Rodriguez is the greatest baseball player of all time. But what else is new, amirite? Seriously though, when you look at someone who is really good at running, throwing, catching, and hitting things with a stick, you gotta assume they know about organizational psychology, and corporate leadership, right?
Yep, Alex Rodriguez, who is me, is an expert in all those things. And now I’m going to teach you how to be like me, with colleagues who love him at every organization A-Rod, who is me, worked for.
Step 1 — Be Inspiring
By earning the most money, you show everyone you know how to get the job done. They know they can count on you. They might even make you team captain if Derek Jeter doesn’t get in the way.
Step 2— Keep It Clean
Yeah, whatever. My lawyer said I had to put this one in.
Step 3— Keep Your Promises
Just kidding! Cheat like crazy on your wife (or wives, or mistresses). Talk smack about your team behind their backs. Take that opt out clause and sign a contract you can never fulfill because your ass is old. If they want to get rid of you, just take some bullshit advisory job and show up at the winter meetings like you’re in charge. It’s good because it tells your absentee father how much he is missing out on.
