Features: True role models are your superiors or bosses. We don’t need to go out of our way—true role models are right beside us. The best shortcut to rapid advancement and success is to learn from the outstanding people around you! Perhaps it’s due to outward disdain or inner jealousy, or maybe because of conflicting interests or natural opposition, we overlook the bosses and superiors who constantly push us to work harder—those who are actually worth learning from. Why can bosses become bosses? They must have their unique strengths. Smart people should study their every word and action at all times, understanding and accumulating the knowledge and experience of a manager—of course, "taking the essence and discarding the dross." Only in this way can we do our jobs better, do better when starting our own businesses, and ultimately become outstanding individuals on par with them.
