1.Guan xi is crucial – build lasting relationships. 2.Have and display patience, especially in meetings. 3.Use group members to introduce you to others. 4.Show modest behaviour and respect to elders. 5.Where possible, hold back on truth to help others “save face.” 6.Understand that people do not always speak the truth. 7.Ask senior management to make announcements to groups. 8.Emphasise how the overall group can benefit from change. 9.Do not single subordinates out, even if you want to praise them. 10.Tell subordinates what to do – don’t expect them to figure it out.
