Bad Habits That Can Derail Your Career

In the season finale of Season 1 of the CryRoom, we wrap up our focus on the foundational skills needed as you build your career by breaking down the bad habits that can derail your career.  If you find yourself demonstrating any of these bad habits at any time in your career, it is critical that you break them and turn them into good habits as quickly as possible.  

 

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Successful careers are a product of many good habits developed over time and avoiding the most common bad habits that derail many people’s careers. 
2. The 7 most damaging bad habits are:
   1. Procrastination
   2. Negative attitude
   3. Avoiding Challenges
   4. Not using your time wisely
   5. Failure to Network
   6. Avoiding Difficult Conversations
   7. Resistance to Change
3. The sooner you develop good habits the more likely you will start earning “compounding interest” on the work you are doing.
