In order to get things done at the beginning of the week, you may have to be the squeaky wheel. Do it right.

Be ready with a success story or two, whether the question's a casual "how are you? " or a more formal request for an update. On friday or over the weekend, you've got the opportunity to make a splashy move. Just consider the future implications before you do.
