9 errors in behavior that interfere with career development

Sometimes in the advancement of the career ladder, we are prevented not by the inadequacy and bias of the leadership, but by our own mistakes that we make every day. We do not realize that when talking with colleagues on the phone, you can blurt out the superfluous, and sobbing at all, to consolidate in relation to yourself the status of a weakly flawed failure. The office is a kind of jungle in which one must be able to survive according to the laws that he sets.


1. Crocodile tears

Tears of a woman - a strange thing. Each person reacts to them in different ways, the palette of these feelings is so diverse that some can fall in love with you when you cry, while others at the sight of crocodile tears become irritated and lose the slightest patience.

Counting on the fact that your colleagues and especially the boss behave in the first way, especially not worth it. Of course, there are situations where it is simply impossible to contain salty drops that flow from the eyes. Especially when it comes to the injustice that happened to you in the office, the problems with your loved one, who unexpectedly in the middle of the day shook you with their claims. Wept? Well, wait for comfort from colleagues is not worth it. Better tear in the ladies' room, then straighten the bloated makeup and, after returning to the workplace, apologize. Of course, one does not have to break out of tears into aggression and anger, colleagues, even if they are to blame, remain colleagues, not friends.

2. Someone else's work

When we get a job, our obligations to the employer are clearly pronounced and prescribed. Knowing this, you can correctly allocate responsibility for these or those things between each employee. Of course, over time, at work, we have friends or just good acquaintances who sometimes ask for help on a particular issue. The insurance of a colleague is a perfect example of your qualifications for leadership. Just do not forget that, constantly picking up other people's small assignments, you can start inferiorly fulfill their own - simply do not have time. So do not rush to pull your hand and help everyone. Take on only those tasks, the successful completion of which you will definitely appreciate. Of course, they can be complex, very serious, but the game is worth the candle. Otherwise you will sit down on your neck, put down your legs and begin to drive. Do you need this?

3. Waiting

To wait for any positive reaction from the employer is a terrible thing. This applies to praise, and increase, and increase in wages. Do not wait for you to be noticed, but take the initiative. By the way, it is possible and in an unobtrusive form to emphasize their achievements. So do not hesitate to attract attention, know how to communicate and take dignity with compliments from colleagues, do not at all reject or deny your talent and diligence.

4. About female beauty

Never prink yourself with your colleagues. Firstly, because men do not need to know that you only have enough powder for a month, your eyebrows are drawn, and your lips actually golubet at the slightest blow of a cool wind. Men in principle like to realize that beautiful women do not need a ton of makeup, and watching a colleague who guides a marathon can shake their worldview. Yes, and purely humanly it is indecent, but suddenly among the men around your curious admirer has woken up?

5. Between us, the girls

Each organization has its own gossip, and, no matter how hard you try, it does not go away. In order for you to hear less about rumors, naturally, you need to give fewer reasons. For example, your personal life and relationship with your superiors. Alien personal life is always interesting ... Try as little as possible with colleagues to find out the relationship on the phone, explain to a friend, girlfriend, parents your views on life, especially if they are provocative. Of course, you should not hide the fact that you have a husband, a groom or just a young man. This will give life not only to conversations and reflections on the topic of why you are hiding something, but it will clearly not be pleasant to your second half.

6. Relationships with the boss

Novels at work, or The forbidden fruit is sweet. A handsome, lonely boss is not yet an excuse for intrigue. Very rarely there are cases when such relations end with weddings, and not with broken hearts, layoffs or broken quarries.

7. Everyone does not like

It is a fact. Good for all in life you will not, and at work the same laws apply. Your policy will always be disliked by someone, you have to put up with it and move on. Everyone pursues his goals in our bureaucratic world. So you need to learn how to make decisions on your own, not ask for advice and do not enlist the support. Each of us is responsible only for our work and must do it perfectly.

8. Five cents

Do not try to insert your five cents for each question. We do not always know the answer and certainly not always cleverly formulate it. Do not strive to take part everywhere. But sometimes inserted three words can represent you as a reasonable and wise person - in this case, speak clearly, not too quickly, without unnecessary information and unnecessary details.

9. Meetings

When management appoints a meeting, meeting or a meeting in which you must be present, do not ignore the event. It is possible that they collect it for you, for example, to discuss the cases that you are conducting, or simply to negotiate important things for the organization. Act actively and, if necessary, write down. Believe me, a lot of interesting and useful things can be said at the meeting. Do not yawn, do not talk about things that are not relevant, and turn off the phone.

Finally we want to add: keep your workplace in order, try to be late and be interested in work, and if you start a dispute, always have objective evidence of your rightness - after all, they are also components of success.
