Always make those above you feel comfortably superior.
greene, robert. The 48 Laws of Power.
You should be careful not to show off or draw too much attention to yourself, especially in a situation where you are subordinate to someone else, like a boss or mentor. This can be seen as disrespectful or threatening to the person in a position of authority. Instead, you should try to be supportive and respectful of the person in charge, and let them take the lead. This can help you build positive relationships and avoid causing problems or conflicts.
When it comes to power, outshining the master is perhaps the worst mistake of all.
GREENE, ROBERT. THE 48 LAWS OF POWER.
Never take your position for granted and never let any favors you receive go to your head.
