This document discusses different techniques used by individuals called "Viles" to promote themselves and gain praise and attention from others in an organization. It describes three "strokes" or techniques Viles use to encourage others to praise them: 1) Smiling and appearing pleased when praised, 2) Telling subordinates to praise their deeds to others, and 3) Rewarding "sycophancy" or flattery to encourage more praise. It also covers three strokes of "ingratiating" behavior aimed at currying favor with managers, including acting obsequiously, expressing over-the-top gratitude, and flattering managers for unique traits. The document advises managers to avoid rewarding sycophantic behavior and instead recognize teams

With real-life examples, original insights and practical tips this book enables the good man to tackle the immoral men and overcome them. It also propels the immoral man into understanding that riding roughshod over others may take care of the present but has no future. The book is free of any platitudes that don't work and free of any unproven recommendations. It has relevance to all walks of life.
The Book has received the Pharmacy Council of India Endorsement by the President. It gives a creative landscape for Pharmaceutical marketing filled with innovative and practical marketing strategies for all pharmacy students and marketing professionals.

The Corporate Dominatrix TM: Role Play Your Way to the BoardroomLisa Berkowitz
Capitalism is not for sissies ─ The economic forces of globalization produce anxiety, fear, stress paranoia, helplessness, and, dare I say, a sadomasochistic Corporate America inhabited with supervisor sadists and subordinate masochists. Mistress Lisa Robyn exposes the workplace for what it truly is: a de Sadeian netherworld – one in which some people hold all the power, and most do not, establishing a lopsided, unequal command-and-control dynamic.
Since we still labor in a largely patriarchal office culture,
what are working women to do?

Christian Grey may be some women’s fantasy in the bedroom, but some other woman’s nightmare in the corner office.
Using aspects of Jungian psychology, combined with the theatrical tools of the professional dominatrix, Mistress Lisa Robyn shows women how to role-play their way to the Boardroom by discovering their inner mistress archetype, and then tapping into the other heroines for strategic success.

surroundings? Here is some information to think about.
See yourself as a dartboard. Everything and everyone else around you
may become darts, at one point or another. These darts will crush
your confidence and pull you down in ways you won’t even
remember. Don’t let them crush you, or get the best of you. So which
darts should you avoid?
The way you are and your behavioral traits is said to be a mixed end
product of your genetic traits , your raising , and your environmental
surroundings like your spouse, the company you keep, the economy
or your occupation. You have your own individuality. If your father is
a failure, it doesn’t mean you have to be a failure too. Learn from
others experience, so you’ll never have to make the same mistakes.

Isn’t it curious? We look at other people, envy them for looking so terribly perfect and wish we could trade places with them, while they consider us and think of the same thing. We're jealous of other people who themselves are jealous of us. We suffer from low self-regard, lack of assurance and lose hope in self-improvement and ever winning anyone over.

Positive relationship with oneself is fundamental for a content and fulfilled life. Even if we were harshly criticised and humiliated as children, we have the possibility as adults to choose different, more constructive behaviour towards ourselves and others.
In this book, Marshall Goldsmith begins by examining the trouble with
success, explaining how previous accomplishments often prevent leaders
from gaining more success. He analyzes why high achievers are so resistant
to change due to their delusion of success, pointing out that they can’t see
that what got them here won’t get them there.
These are people who do one annoying thing repeatedly on the job and don’t realize that this small flaw may sabotage their otherwise golden career. Worse yet, they do not realize that it’s happening and that they can fix it. Goldsmith details the 20 habits that hold you back from the top rung of the corporate ladder. In his experience, these are the most irritating interpersonal issues in the workplace. For each habit, he gives examples
and practical solutions you can implement. He then describes the 21st habit, which stands separate from the other 20 habits –– not because it is a flaw, but because it is often the root of an annoying behavior.
Finally, Goldsmith addresses the problem of how you can change your interpersonal relationships for the better, and ensure that you make your behavioral changes permanent.
This summary reveals how you can identify which of these 20 habits apply to you, and how to choose the one or two you should focus on.
In addition, you will learn:
The four key beliefs that make you successful but also resistant to change.
Why the higher you go, the more your problems are behavioral.
Why the 21st habit, goal obsession, may be the most destructive of all.
How to get good 360-degree feedback from your colleagues on your own.
How to overcome special challenges if you’re the one in charge at the workplace.

Machiavelli is the Father of Realpolitik. A politician and a writer, he wrote his masterpieces The Prince and Discourses on Livy in 16th Century AD. These writings, banned till early 18th century for their controversial and devious content, are now considered the Bible of Realpolitik. Clearly in the world today more politicians are considered Machiavellian than Gandhian, and although we may admire Gandhi more than Machiavelli, the world does often seem to comport to Machiavelli’s expectations.
Pavan Choudary explores how, Machiavelli - reviled down the years for promoting deviousness - has actually made an invaluable contribution in enhancing our understanding of evil. This understanding can help the principled person win.

2. CHAPTER TWO
PROMOTING SELF-PRAISE
Even the virtue-less, when praised by others, are
considered virtuous. And even Lord Indra is looked
down upon when he praises his own self.
8 | How a Good Person can Really Win
— Hindu proverb
Promoting self-praise to build one's own authority is an
allied game to credit poaching. Just as Vile cannot brazenly
grab other people's credit for the danger of being seen as
a poacher, he cannot blow his own trumpet for the fear
of looking vain. So he needs someone else to toot his horn.
To get others to praise him, he uses the following
strokes:
Stroke A — Smiling gladly when praised. Vile smiles
when he is praised. He leaves no doubt that he likes it.
This way more praise comes his way.
3. Stroke B — Tell-them-what-we-did stroke. This stroke is
used to encourage a subordinate to praise one's deeds
before others. It is an open exhortation to hear a eulogy.
Stroke C — Rewarding sycophancy. This is one of the
deadliest strokes of Vile, wherein he labels flattery as
positive attitude. He deliberately rewards the sycophant with
promotions, higher increments, better job profiles and with
visible perks such as a bigger car, a bigger office, all of
which constitute the physical indicators of power.
Once this stroke is played, the message, 'lick to leap'
goes loud and clear to all the intelligent employees. Since
an employee's performance at flattering is now directly
proportionate to his growth in the organization, the quality,
quantum and frequency of praise for Vile rise up
tremendously.
VILE — How He Operates | 9
4. Advice for Naive
• When people brag, stay silent.
• Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
Criticize me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.
Encourage me, and I will not forget you.
10 | How a Good Person can Really Win
— William Arthur Ward
Advice for Vile
• Don't be seduced by self importance. It's not the
whistle that pulls the train.
• Never speak well of yourself if you wish your men to
speak well of you.
• Inauspicious events arise when you detest hearing
about your errors.
• When you start crowing, you stop growing.
Advice for the Ruler
• There is an abundance of junk praise and junk food.
• Receive appreciation without feelings of superiority or
false humility.
• Prevent sycophancy in your organization by giving
more recognition to teams than to individuals.
• When the general brags, his assistants will have few
attainments.
5. There is a fable about two dogs — Barbos and Joujoutka.
One day, Barbos notices his old acquaintance Joujoutka
seated comfortably on a soft cushion, and wonders how
come her life has changed so much since they met. Earlier,
they both used to suffer hunger, but now she lives in
comfort, while Barbos still suffers from hunger, neglect and
cruel whipping from his master. He asks Joujoutka what
she does for being treated so well. She answers, "I walk
upon my hind legs (to please my master)."
Every organization usually has one such Vile who makes
life uncomfortable for everyone else by polluting the
workplace in order to satisfy his economic and personal
ends. By trying to rise through genuflection, he brings
down the standards of executive behaviour. He tries to
wriggle to the top without any talent other than his
obsequiousness.
VILE — How He Operates | 31
CHAPTER SEVEN
INGRATIATING
6. Such a Vile prefers to take the elevator to the top.
He understands if he submerges his ego to the powers-that-
be, rewards shall ensue. Watch him at work. The
professional ingratiator undergoes a complete
metamorphosis when the bosses show up. Almost magically,
he manages to distance himself from his colleagues, and
gives the impression that he'd only been talking with them
to keep them away from disobedience and rebellion.
Often, such Viles flourish in environments where the
boss is too full of himself. Sensing this, they may go to
extreme lengths to feed the boss's vanity, by praising him
openly and singing his song for him. Moreover, they justify
their sycophancy by labeling it as a 'positive attitude' or by
suggesting that it is an outcome of their undying
admiration for their leader. They do not look at their
reflections in the mirror and so never find out what
caricatures they have become. They also do not care how
they appear to others. There are broadly three Super Vile
ingratiating strokes:
Stroke A — Ingratiating through obsequious behaviour.
In an organization in which first name usage is the norm
he addresses his boss as Sir/Mister. You could see him
carrying the senior's bag for him and through such toadying
up vitiates the executive decorum which fellow employees
strive to maintain. As he knows that by so doing he will
win his vain boss's favour, who will prefer to have him
around and he would then be able to walk in the Lion's
shadow.
32 | How a Good Person can Really Win
7. Stroke B — Ingratiating through gratitude. Vile
convinces his master that his admiration for him stems
from what his master has done for him in the past and is
permanent. He differentiates himself from others by his
eternal admiration and sincerity. Through this stroke, not
only does he ingratiate the master, but qualifies for even
bigger favours in the future.
Stroke C — Unique taste-ingratiation. Here the Super
Vile chooses a trait in the master that is unique, but
neither noteworthy nor important. He blows out of
proportion his admiration for this trait. The master, unsure
in the beginning as to how to react, looks askance but
finally starts taking the bow to his applause. Super Vile
thus ties himself to his master with a unique string of
ingratiation, which cannot be cut by any of the other Viles.
Also, his gullible colleagues may see him not so much as
a flatterer but a freak, with an unquenchable love for an
uncommon trait.
Advice for the Ruler
• We love flattery, even though we are not deceived by it,
because it shows that we are of importance enough to
be courted.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
• Do not let the productive and dignified people lose
their rewards to co-workers who are compliant and
worshipful.
• Encourage the expression of independent opinions
and display of courage of convictions rather than
servility.
