The higher and more critical the position, the more you have to run, and as for the delivery, it's actually another topic.
If you don't have a strong attachment to the above or a special connection with their private interests, you won't be in some key positions at all, why should people make you progress?
Don't think that the other party accepts what people mean, let alone think that people look at your three melons and two dates, which means that it is just basic etiquette. Below certain basic thresholds, you will not be accepted for this courtesy.
What people value most is your loyalty, reliability, and want to cultivate your own people, many things are just companions rather than goals. This is far from a matter of a few copper plates, talking about reliable character (not good or bad character in the general sense) + talking about magnetic field + talking about ability to do things + talking about luck, which is more complex and comprehensive.
If you don't have a direct and close relationship with someone, you have to find someone who is related to them. That is, to meet some people who are inconvenient to see and to do some people who are inconvenient to do.
You can find them, get along well and then transition to a tacit understanding of long-term followers, and then you may be recommended to sit in certain positions. Of course, you can also find someone who can directly affect some major interests of the promoter to press, provided that you have the ability and the way.
When you get to the position, you have to do what you are called, including many public decisions that favor specific private matters. So, guess how you will cultivate your own people below at this time, and how to understand how the people above you got to that position?
It's a system, it's not a matter of sending or running, you know?
