Wow - this advice is definitely spot-on, in terms of helping us reach the desired goal it describes.
And yet, in terms of the nuts and bolts of what it suggests we actually do - (not always but in many places) totally indicative of all the preening, butt-kissing, apple-polishing & back-stabbing behaviors that we all know and love -- as ways to get an inch or two ahead in the Great Rat Race:
* Get allies who can proselytize about you behind your back
* Use pronouns I and Me when talking about your work (not We) and do not allow others to take credit for your work
* Don't do most of the work, because the credit will end up being split 50/50 in the eyes of the bosses even if you did most of it
* Attend the social events and get in good with the bosses
