That sounds like good advice, but it seems more like basic defensive measures than something really advantageous. :aside: I learned after my first real job that I need to protect myself from my boss's unrealistic expectations if I wanted to continue working in the position I held. But that was more of a station-keeping exercise than something to advance my career.

Well, the next step would be to determine what exactly it is that you want career-wise in the short/medium/long term. You then use the daily interactions to gradually nudge your way there. e.g. if you want to be a manager, you need to create outcomes where you prove that you can manage people with out having authority. That shows that once you get the authority, you will know what you are doing.
