Four Hour Rule
Read Four Hour Rule at Slacker Manager.
It is all about managing expectations. Have you ever heard the phrase, "under-promise and over-deliver?" This is the mantra of effective career managers. Over-promise and under-deliver and you will be marginalized. Under-promise and over-deliver and you will rise up the corporate ladder seemingly effortlessly.
Of course, we all know that no worthy accomplishment can be achieved effortlessly, and even if it could, it is best not to make it look too easily done.
This is the genius of the Four Hour Rule.
