When you undermine your direct reports, do so in public, especially in high stakes discussions. Savor the squirming, knowing you caused it, and cause anxiety in them so they remember who's boss.

Attached your name to a project or event that you think could blow? Easy - publicly question the merits and sanity of your direct report who you put in charge to distance yourself.

When you reorg to put supporters in charge, let rumors do the dirty work. Avoid making official announcements for months to distance yourself from too much scrutiny.

Instruct your direct report to put a mildly performing staff on the firing squad. Once done, hold your direct report accountable for the lack of goal progress with no staff in place.

Use Outlook invites to instill fear in your team: Call every single meeting a "1 on 1", provide no agenda, no context for the meeting, and leave out the Chime dial-in so your employee has to text you.

Whisper power in meetings. Be fully aware that there are 15 people around the large table along with remote attendees. Whisper as you talk - it’ll infuriate others and shows you’re in charge

Mimic the overlords. For example, use "primitives" all the time if your CEO once mentioned the word "primitives" in a shareholder letter or presentation. You'll be praised for being very smart.

To motivate your team, who make an average of $200k a year, skip the bonuses and RSUs. Instead, email them a $10 gift voucher as a special token of appreciation.

Want someone to do work for you but expect pushback? Invent some pretext to meet with your target's boss behind their back and then get the boss to delegate to your target. Works like a charm.

As you review a doc, don’t discuss the merits of the proposal. Instead try to waste time getting caught up in tangential small details like formatting, margins, some missing metrics, etc.
