Ask advise from people that's there
Take care of your boss's arrivals
Good relationship with the staff, so they can give you pointers, ideas.
Pick the teams that can be trusted, and do trust them.
Never say that you are better than others
Calm everybody down
Ask 2 times weather you do it or not (double check) but don't push it every minutes
Never say "do as I say" treat people like kids
Give a speech, raise the awareness, care for the charity
Greet for your boss's arrival/departure - Brief report for him to catch up
Have a list of all possibilities that's going to go wrong
Double check is better than way too lay back
Take charge of your employees
React when people don't act and respect
When you win, thanks the candidates, shook hands with all

The Lesson people didn't learn from the history is that people don't learn from the history
I'm a big fan of the TV Series - The Apprentice
Instead of just watching it on the couch with food and drinks at hand, I always have my laptop opened
Keeping notes as the series goes
I wrote down all the great ideas that I might be able to apply in the future
all the bad ideas that i should prevent
Instead of just watching the show and guess who and which team wins this week, I look into the reason of winning as well as the reason of losing.
The Lesson people didn't learn from the history is that people don't learn from the history
Same mistakes happened more than once in the whole process by different people. Only if they could learn from the history will they be able to prevent that mistake.
I want to learn, from the best, and from the worst.
You learn so much from people who success, also from people who fail
I'd love to share my ideas and notes with everyone who's in love with the world of business
