As a manager, your goal at work is to get ahead. 

You want to be seen as a  star performer who gets things done. You want your work to be viewed as  being of the highest quality and you want your management to come looking for you when they have a slot open up for promotions.  The big question that you are facing is the same one that we are all  trying to answer: just exactly what do you have to do at work to be  successful? 

It turns out that the answer may not be what you think that  it should be.
