Spotted this on the great Kitsune Noir blog. It’s a design piece by Jessica Hisch.

Episode 4

“Collaboration” just means you’re in charge but you want people to feel included in the process.
Feel free to edit anyone’s contribution without their knowledge- particularly if you’re not presenting that particular piece of work.
Remember: no discipline integrating with yours needs more than 5 minutes to explain itself or its role in your idea.

Part 3

hold on to your idea tightly
anything that is not your idea is a bad idea
resist asking for the premises of anyone’s conclusion- it will only cloud things
the most important thing is to be right

it’s perfectly OK to interrupt another meeting in progress with a ‘quick question’
turn up late to meetings and leave before they’ve finished
keep your mobile on, read your emails on your blackberry and snort at your Twitter messages
don’t distribute information before meetings, read your documents word for word
remember that your time is ever so much more important than others

It will always make you seem smarter and more creative to imply that others work is your own.
