Careers rarely follow a smooth, linear trajectory. If you’re experiencing a stalled or faltering career — and most of us do at some point or another — take a good look in the mirror. Are you guilty of exhibiting any of these common behaviors? These ten career-killing pitfalls can mean the difference between an upward ride and a downward spiral at work. If you recognize your own behaviors here, make it your mission to change them — before you have to. In time, you’re likely to see your career move from a stall to a soar.

  • Misfiring on performance or values — Overcommitting and under-delivering.
  • Resistance to change — Failing to embrace new ideas.
  • Being a Problem Identifier vs a Problem Solver.
  • Winning over your boss but not your business peer group.
  • Always worrying about your next career move versus focusing on the present.
  • Running for office – it’s totally transparent to everyone but you!
  • Self-importance — exhibiting a humorless, rigid attitude.
  • Lacking the courage and conviction to push back on the system.
  • Forgetting to develop your own succession plan for when you get promoted.
  • Complacency — you’ve stopped growing.

  1. Thank you, I’ve recently been scaerhing for information about this subject for a long time and yours is the best I have came upon till now. But, what in regards to the bottom line? Are you positive concerning the source?|What i don’t realize is actually how you are now not really a lot more smartly-favored than you may be right now. You are so intelligent.

  2. Psilocybin, by far, as supported by mtllipue studies with very well-established procedures and methods, has been found to be the safest drug of all, even safer than cannabis by far. Tolerance to the drug develops more rapidly than tolerance to any other drug (a hair faster than to other hallucinogens like LSD, and much faster than the class of drugs most commonly associated with the fastest tolerance the opioids/painkillers). Therefore, its effects on the brain and thus damage, are by definition self-limiting. Additionally, it works only on the serotonin system, and is actually quite a mild agent. It is not neurotoxic whatsoever..it works by mimicking serotonin, but has no adverse chemical reactive effects on the membranes of pre- or post-synapses. It is safe, even in prolonged use: that is the bottom line. Feel free to ask more questions as they come to you

  3. It is the best time to make some plans for the long run and it is time to be happy.
