Inability to control your temper. If you want to fast track your career to the toilet then be someone who gets angry and yells, especially in meetings. There\u2019s a saying \u201cDon\u2019t raise the volume of your voice. Improve the quality of your argument.\u201d and another, \u201cMen are like steel – when they lose their temper, they lose their value.\u201d If you want to lose respect fast, then get angry when you don\u2019t get your way; be petulant; pout; stamp your feet and yell at people who disagree with you. You\u2019ll be looking for a new career in no time.<\/p>\n
Gossip. Gossiping is like cheating – if you do it with them, you will do it to them. That\u2019s what your coworkers will be thinking when you tell them the latest detail about another employee. Everyone wants to hear the latest news. You will too. Listen to what\u2019s said and then SHUT THE HELL UP. \u201cNothing is always a good thing to say\u201d. You can think anything you want about anybody you want. You are the master of your thoughts. But once you put voice to your thoughts, your words have become master of YOU. There is a saying on 4Chan about this: \u201cIf you think it, don\u2019t say it. If you say it, never write it in an email. If you write it, don\u2019t sign it. If you think it, say, write it and sign it, don\u2019t be surprised what happens to you.\u201d Every word you utter, every email you send, everything you express will be used for you or against you. Never do or say something that can be used against you.<\/p>\n
Bad attitude. The single biggest thing that will affect your career is your attitude. If you have a bad attitude it will like tying an anchor to your leg and trying to swim. If you have a good attitude it will be like putting on wings and flying above your peers. Nothing\u00a0and I mean nothing – works like having a great attitude, being an eternal optimist and seeking the best in the and the people. That doesn\u2019t mean being delusional or unrealistic. It means putting the best face on every bad situation and working to turn it to the \u2019s and your advantage – your attitude will be the first thing people remember about you. Make it count to your advantage. If I could give one single piece of advice to anyone about their career it\u2019s to improve their attitude always.<\/p>\n
Disrespect of Management.\u00a0In the book and movie \u201cThe Caine Mutiny\u201d a group of naval officers are required to take the ship from the Captain in a moment of crisis. He\u2019s not a great officer and they spent the past months calling him names behind his back as if he didn\u2019t know. When the crisis comes, he feels he cannot depend on them and put their lives in jeopardy. They become mutineers. I recommend everyone in business watch this movie. You have absolutely no idea how lonely it is to be the boss until you\u2019re the boss and when you are you will want everyone to support you. And you will need to get rid of the malcontents who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Undermining of authority. If you have a boss, no matter how much he sucks (and there are plenty who do) then you support him to the best of your ability because he has the job – not you. When you can\u2019t do that anymore, then leave. Loyalty is remembered by everyone – and so is disloyalty.<\/p>\n
Lying or exaggeration. Your words are how people will judge you. You can get people, even important people, to move mountains to get things done if you lie or exaggerate about the situation or the consequences. Don\u2019t ever do that. It might work once. It might work twice. But when it stops working everything you do will be discounted. When you communicate keep three things in mind: what are the facts? what do the facts mean? what do we do about the facts? Everything else is editorial.<\/p>\n
Laziness\/Tardiness\/Chiseling\/Shirking. You\u2019re not fooling anyone when you show up late and leave early, when you clean up your desk fifteen minutes before you leave, when you read the paper on the toilet or take an extra long lunch. This is all chiseling, stealing time from the . And people notice.<\/p>\n
Stop learning. The time is going to come when the job gets easier and you may be tempted to slack off. Don\u2019t do it! \u201cToday\u2019s cutting edge tool is tomorrow\u2019s blunt instrument.\u201d Keep learning and growing. When you stop learning, you start dying. In business this means you become stale and less valuable. Go to those seminars. Read the articles. Talk to people who know something. Develop opinions and voice them. Don\u2019t let yourself get stale – that will happen soon enough and when you\u2019re older it will be much, much harder to make them up. Keep it up now!<\/p>\n
Procrastinate. Yes it\u2019s true – procrastination is the thief of time. If you have to do it, then do it now while it\u2019s easier. If you wait you may miss opportunities and as they say, \u201cLuck occurs when preparation and opportunity meet\u201d. You make things happen by doing what you can right now. Interruptions are a fact of life. Don\u2019t let them rule your life – you rule them. \u201cLet circumstances dictate your priorities and let priorities dictate your actions.\u201d Do it now. \u201cNow is the only time anything ever happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
