He submitted a rough draft outlining his key points for success to the shining new graduates:
- Shamelessness is a Leader’s Greatest Superpower.
- Narcissists rise to the top faster than altruists. Success requires an inflated sense of self-importance, a ruthless desire for power, and an uncanny ability to manipulate people.
- Your goal should be CEO. You can make 500 times the salary paid to the people doing the backbreaking work. Use inequality to your advantage.
- How to use legal loopholes to make more money. e.g. Corporate Stock Buybacks.
- “A rising tide lifts all boats” and other bs quotes.
- If you have the hammer, everyone else looks like a nail.
- People say “Greedy Capitalistic Pig” like it’s a bad thing!
- Teamwork is important. You can blame someone else for the mistakes and take all the credit for the successes.
- A bad boss leads by example. A good boss leads by fear.
- Leaders I follow: Michael Scott, Bill Lumbergh, George Costanza, Kanye, Zoolander, Coriolanus Snow
- It is not necessary to Walk the Walk if you can Talk the Talk.
- White collar crime rarely ends in jail time.
After seeing Charlie’s submission, the school apologized for the mix-up and said they had regretfully double-booked that day. 🤥
