If
you are going to move on up you had better start practicing now. Rule 60 teaches you how to adopt the
mannerisms, attitudes and managerial traits of the position above the one you
currently hold. If you already look as
if you’ve been promoted, chances are you will be.

mannerisms, attitudes and managerial traits of the position above the one you

So, dress one step ahead
When
I was an assistant manager, I dressed like one. When I wanted to be a manager I
studied what managers wore – and general managers. I opted to dress like a general manager and
was duly promoted, thus missing out the manager’s position in between assistant
and general. There is a style for every job.
You may choose what job you want.
Now you can choose to dress like that job. Then you will get that job. It is that simple. Just so long as when you
get that job you can do that job—don’t fly until you can crawl.

I
have held many interviews in my time for many different positions to be
filled. I have never ceased to be amazed
at how people dress for interviews. Is
it like they don’t want the job? I’ve
seen interviews for senior management positions where the candidate has turned
up in a crumbled suit, an un-ironed shirt or blouse, unpolished shoes and
un-combed hair. I wouldn’t employ them
as—here I have to be careful as I don’t want to insult any group of workers –
ferret catchers.

I’ve
seen interviews, again for senior management posts, where they turned up late,
in the wrong place, on the wrong day, with the wrong information and obviously
for the wrong job.

I’ve
held interviews for trainees where they turned up in trainers – not quite what
I had in mind.

“YOU MAY
CHOOSE WHAT JOB YOU WANT. NOW YOU CAN
CHOOSE TO DRESS LIKE THAT JOB. THEN YOU
WILL GET THAT JOB”.
Whatever
job you are doing you must have your eye on the next position up. Haven’t you?
See Rule 21: Have
a plan. If you have your eye on
that job you must know who has that job now.
Study them. What do they
wear? How do they dress? What style, level of smartness? Is there anything you could learn from the
way they dress? Can you start copying it
now? And when I say copying it I do mean
learning to dress like that for real. If
it means wearing a smart business suit, then get used to it.

There’s
nothing worse than starting a new job and starting to wear a new style at the
same time. It will be noticed that the
collar doesn’t fit or the shoes seem too tight or strange, and that the level
of smartness is all wrong for you – you’re always pulling the hem of your skirt
down or straightening that tie which feels so strange to you.
