Whether you are fresh out of high school or college working your first job, or an

accomplished professional with 15 years in, you are likely harming your career

without even realizing it.


I want to share with you now the things you need to know if you want to have a successful career in any field.


Now let’s dig in…and really understand why your business career may be

stalled or downright dead based on the above 9 items.



Sometimes decisions made or the way people treat you at work have nothing to do with you. Never take things personally. It is far better to

assume there are good reasons for decisions.

TAKING THINGS PERSONALLY AND LETTING IT SHOW1


Constructive feedback and new information is welcome in meetings when asked for, but tread lightly and carefully and soften the information you are providing

so it doesn’t come across as a direct counter to the ideas being discussed.

EXERCISING POOR JUDGMENT IN A PUBLIC SETTING2


Recognize that if your idea doesn’t seem to be gaining traction or supporters then you should shelve it for now. Never get emotionally

attached to a better way of doing things.

HANGING ON TOO LONG TO YOUR IDEAS3


Being a credit hound will position others to never want to support you, and in some cases actively look for ways for you to fail.

FOCUSING MORE ON GETTING CREDIT VERSUS GETTING THE JOB DONE

TALKING TOO MUCH5

Management will always give you more work than you can handle.All good approaches to this situation start with you asking your

manager for help in understanding priorities and outlining needs relative to getting items done faster.


NOT ASKING FOR HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT6


Not only will that affect their view of you as a reliable employee, it also will set their expectation that you can’t be trusted since you “speak out

of school” so often.

ENGAGING IN GOSSIP7


ENGAGING IN POLITICS8Stay objective, assume at some point others will see what is going on – but don’t stress out if they don’t. Typically the big losers in office

politics are the ones that try and play the game and aren’t good at it.


NOT MAKING YOUR BOSS’S LIFE EASIER9Managers need to be able to hand a task to an employee, and then go

focus on other work tasks or objectives, trusting that the employee will basically take care of that task for them and they can check it off their list.
