  1. TOPIC ATTITUDE CONSONANCE

  2. Your positive or negative bias toward co-workers based on: • How “simpatico” they are with you: similar ambitions & skills • Mutual back-scratching potential (how much you can do for each other)

  3. ATTCON professional relationships have the potential to stimulate high productivity & success, because the boss: • “Thinks the best” of his or her subordinate • Is on friendly terms with them based on shared ambitions • Believes the subordinate may be a “star” in the making and is worth investing time in

  4. High ATTCONpros often pursue personal success via a “good-ole-boy” buddy system (“the blue line” of insiders vs. outsiders): “We’re tight & take care of our own.” “I’ve got your back.”

  5. ATTCON professional relationships can stimulate high productivity & success, but sometimes result in: favoritism (“teacher’s pet” syndrome); “Don’t rock the boat”; “Don’t ask or tell”; exploitative relationships.

  8. “I like busy writers, because they meet deadlines.” “I like thinking writers more than stylistic ones.” “I like writers who know how to write for market, delivering what the reader wants.”

  9. “Gordon Blaisdale is a great writer for me because we both like non-fiction that sounds like fiction. He’s just figuring out how to hook the reader, thanks to a bit of help from me. His upside is very strong. We’re going places together in this market!”

  10. How good of an editor is Felicia? It all depends on her professional “hook-ups.”
