I just read this post by Guy Kawasaki who gives advice on the ability to suck up to the folks who don't have big titles but make the world run is more useful. It's "Manage the Gatekeeper" a la Never Eat Alone.
1. Understand the dynamic.
2. Understand their needs.
3. Be important.
4. Make them smile.
5. Don't try to buy your way in.
6. But do express your gratitude on the way out.
7. Never complain.
8. Rack up the karmic points.
9. Accept what cannot be changed.
