-Keep every e-mail.
This is a bacon saver right here. I would add
-get every verbal agreement acknowledged via email.
I can't count the number of times someone has agreed to do something then told me they never agreed to do it. With an email trail you may not get them to do what they promised but they can't stand there and deny they ever agreed to it. That can mean the difference between you or them when the hammer on a project falls. I learned this lesson by watching an incompetent engineer cost many of my peers their jobs by simply telling the manager the tech didn't do it the way he was instructed but instructions were gibberish and the techs had long since deleted them.
