Power Tip No. 1: Make Them Wait

Not only was I one hour late for my appearance on Let's Paint TV on Friday, I am also late in delivering this blog post about it.

But according to author Gretchen Rubin: "[a]lthough a perennial favorite, tardiness is a tricky way to demonstrate power. On the one hand, it's a highly effective way to consume resources - other people's time and effort. Also, being late makes you seem busy, and therefore important. On the other hand, it's so well understood to be a power move, and so irritating, that you're often better off being prompt. So use tardiness cautiously."
