- When someone says they have an idea respond with “We don’t fix something that’s not broken!”
- If you absolutely have to endure a presentation about a new suggestion, yawn conspicuously. After about 5 minutes ask the presenter if they could quickly pop out and grab you a cup of coffee while you read through the slides. That should throw them!
- Paint the areas where staff like to congregate a green gray color, including the toilets and kitchen. The color will have a cold and unwelcoming effect.
- Never employ someone with tattoos and body jewelry. Or curly hair. Write a Policy that emphasizes a sleek haircut.
- Only employ attractive people, the competition between them will heighten insecurities and allow you to manipulate their weaknesses. Unless it’s your personal assistant. Then go with quality first, appearance second.
- Reward staff who compliment you and never question you.
- Don’t decorate as it could encourage a playful atmosphere. The only one smiling should be you.
- Ban YouTube (it’s only the second largest search engine), and all interactive social media sites (Facebook, Twitter etc.). Prevent access to all sites except those specifically business related.
If any one of these characteristics sounds like you, go work in Japan. If they’ll have you. If not, try China. They’ll like you for sure…

If 3 or more are you. You must be one helluvah evangelist…
