10 ways to ruin the career

You can be a very good professional, but quarrelsome jealous schemer. Can such a man to be a good employee? We have compiled a list of 10 qualities that can ruin any career.



Rudeness, rudeness and inability to communicate


The vast majority of people at work prefers to deal with friendly, helpful, lovely on their own colleagues. They may not be the best professionals in their field, but will always help with a smile and a Cup of tea poured.




People who are prone to depression, grouchy, cranky or rude sooner or later is in isolation, and for the rogue way up the career ladder is almost closed. Agree that to communicate, even in the case, eternally dissatisfied, capricious, discourteous "star", which, before you get from it what you need, you poked your nose in all your mistakes, extremely unpleasant.





The inability or unwillingness to work in a team


Talented loners usually achieve success in the creative professions, and business often is teamwork. The ability to collaborate, distribute professional role, to share power is one of the most important conditions for success.




The man who in the team project pulls the blanket over himself, or worse, attributing other people's achievements, irritating. Maybe once or twice, he will be able to curry favour with the leadership, but unfair play sooner or later it will backfire. And negative impact on future career schemer.





The unreliability and lack of punctuality


If the period of completion of the project environment, and you pass it on Thursday, don't be surprised that your work, even if well executed, will remain unsatisfied. Moreover, the next time responsible job will not get you and the person with perhaps more modest abilities, but more responsible.




Same with commitment. If you made an appointment with his subordinates at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, and at 12 noon on Thursday informed them that she continues on next Tuesday, be prepared that your employees will treat the meeting as the event is optional. And to you as a head, is not credible. And be sure, the opinion of subordinates is also an important factor for career growth.




Personal business during working hours




Work phone and computer tools to solve professional tasks, and not personal. Moreover, many companies all working email is viewed, and calls on the desktop phone records.




To calculate how much of your working time was spent on the ticket booking and search for hotels in the city you need very easily. May be, just you nobody will tell, but the case will not fail to recall. So be cautious in expressing their feelings, especially to the boss, the privacy of communication service on the phone or with the service computer is not guaranteed.





Isolation


People connected in their shells, are in involuntary isolation from valuable sources of information. They cease to be guided in the service environment, depriving yourself of necessary support colleagues so that they can "see" opening career opportunities.




Besides, do not forget that many people reticence and shyness is mistaken for arrogance. Like, there you sit quietly, no one speaks, when he is asked, polite and terse, and the Department believes it Sannikau, because he doesn't drink tea together with all and not share details of his personal life. Therefore, if you decide to elect politely distanced behavior, think about what impression you make on your colleagues.





Office romance


About the pros and cons of the novel service WDay.ru already wrote. Well, when feelings flare up on the job: don't have to spend time meeting with the beloved. However, the demonstration of emotions in the office is fraught with such serious consequences for your business reputation that it would be better if this passion was not there. Especially when it is extinguished, and the consequences, on the contrary, are shown in full.




If you are married, affair with a boss or colleague can very badly affect your business reputation - human, capable of the affair secret from a spouse loses credibility in the eyes of colleagues and partners: can I rely on someone who has already demonstrated his insecurity and impermanence? But even if you are not married to, office romance is unlikely to benefit you. In any case, you will become a victim of idle gossip and biased attention.





Indecision and fear of failure


Actually, caution and fear to fail is quite understandable human emotions. Another thing is that in business a reasonable amount of risk required: any innovation is always a risk.




If you don't believe in yourself, someone else, too, believe in you work. Of course, reckless adventurism only in extremely rare cases are able to offer you to the top, but in the rest he can just destroy your career. But reasonable risk did not disturb anyone. Instead of saying to yourself: "I never had anything like that done, you'd better say "I'll try". And don't be afraid to make mistakes and to fail. Cautious prudence may be more detrimental to your career than a couple of misses.





The lack of goals and ambitions


"I don't know what I want" - to the idea sooner or later, many are coming. Like, there is a job to regularly pay salaries, and the collective good, and not far from home. And that's what we are and what prospects expect from those forty hours a week to formulate, not everyone can.




The main problem is not that you failed to achieve your goal, but if you do not have goals. Formulate your long-term goals and plan your daily activities so that step by step closer to my goals. Otherwise, your activity is in danger of turning into a messy vanity with random results.





Wrong appearance


Some would say that the "correct" appearance does not happen, and with the universal point of view is right. However, if your appearance in something does not match the written and unwritten rules of the company, you can be perceived as a rebel who can't be trusted, or blue stockings that nothing good can do about it.




Let by and large it is and unfair, but in human relations attractive appearance plays a huge role. Person unpleasant-looking people have less confidence and tend to ascribe to him all sorts of weaknesses and shortcomings. And Vice versa.





The temerity


Do not forget that Smoking lobbies, hallways, elevators are not your personal space where you could feel absolutely relaxed. Be careful about when and where, what and to whom you speak. Avoid incorrect jokes, gossip, behind-the-scenes criticism of the authorities. Freedom of speech is a wonderful conquest of democracy, but the abuse of it can cost you a career.




Even if you absolutely trust those with whom you exchange confidences in the Smoking room or in the office kitchen, do not forget that in most modern companies, ears have not only the walls, but the floors, ceilings, lift shafts and metal ashtrays in front of the entrance. And the manual is very interesting to know what people think of him staff.
