If you work in a specific industry, such as Washington’s acting arena, you’re going to run into many of the same people throughout the course of your career. Anything you say otherwise will be gossiped about for weeks or years to come. No matter how angry you might be at other people when you walk out that door, keep your mouth shut.

Such images are demoralizing, of course. Don't interrupt when someone else is talking, don't gossip and don't exclude anyone. Most of us can't hope to make in our lifetimes what some of these executives earn in one day. Some ideas: * Be polite. This goes beyond just saying "please" and "thank you." Ask questions.
