A lot of the status-lowering behaviors are, if not low-status, at least associated with obnoxious personalities. This is a great piece, but I wouldn't mind seeing even more codification of the behaviors, especially separation of "high-status status-lowering behavior" (e.g. "Nice work on the Mulligan account") versus "low-status status-lowering behavior" (shouting), "Low-status status-raising behavior" (lose at something competitive), and "high-status status-raising behavior" (express gratitude).
