It's easy.

- Lie

- Cheat

- Take credit for other people's work.

- Deflect blame to other people.

- Make friends with other jerks in the company and collaborate with them to distort facts in your favor at the expense of value creators within the company.

- Once you climb high enough in the hierarchy, start using your 'friends' as scapegoats for everything that goes wrong; you gotta keep feeding the beast... Even when the meat gets scarce.

- While you're doing all this backstabbing, be sure to keep a smile on your face.

To able to utilize these skill without getting into trouble yourself is hard. I myself have no issue of using these skill, but its not easy. There are lack of courses or books to teach you this.

Just talk loud, talk a lot, smile a lot, keep complimenting your superiors and berate your subordinates often; that makes you look tough and your superiors will love it.
