In any large organization, there are basically two classes of rules: 1) stupid red tape rules that slow everyone down and 2) really important rules that you can never break ever. Effective people learn which rules fall into which group so they can break the red tape rules and get more stuff done.

I disagree. I think it's more like the rules are there for a reason, but most of them can be broken if there is a good enough reason.
