/ 1' / 3'Any of us whose target is to achieve success in our professional
lives will understand that we must learn how to work in harmony
with others whose paths may cross ours daily.
We will, unquestionably, work for, with, and beside people, just
as they will work for, with, and beside us. We will judge them,
as most certainly they are going to be judging us.
A lot of people realize the need for solid working relations and
have a rule that treats others as they, themselves, expect to be
treated. This seems to be a sound, practical idea for them. / 13
