Challenges that entrepreneurs and business leaders face every day are already difficult enough without problems due to self-destructive behavior. We all want to believe that the intentions and our actions will work in our favor on the path to success and we will achieve our goals. But this is simply not so. All of us have gaps in their behavior, which may limit or doom personal and professional goals. The three most simple examples, which you have to deal with are the most obvious:
1. Postponement. No matter how intelligent you are, if you are used to delay your tasks, you will have problems with your career. You may be an excellent worker, you may be creative too. But if you often postpone engagements and you can’t meet deadlines - you have a serious problem. Imagine how would you feel if the carpet cleaners postpone your appointment! You will be very disappointed, right?!
2. Excuses. Undoubtedly, it is important to arrange your tasks, but it is equally important to bring the work for which you are responsible, to the end, instead of going into talking. In this world of great competence, it is important to complete maximum tasks for minimum time and noone is interested of your problems. No matter if you work in carpet cleaning company or you sell burgers, finding excuses is not a good option.
3. Guilt. If you are boss and you lead a team of experts, perhaps you have too many responsibilities. However, don’t make the mistake to accuse the others for your own failure. You have to search for possibilities to improve the performance and appreciate the efforts of every member of your team.
With a little self-awareness, strategic thinking and integrity you would be able to avoid these common mistakes which hinder the growth of your career.
