10 Habits Assuring Career SelfSabotage
Posted on November 12th, 2008
Youre fired! This succinct phrase strikes more fear into the heart of the working man than any other. Why is it, then, that many well-intentioned and reasonably astute professionals hear these words chronically throughout their career despite all best efforts? Below are the top 10 self-destructive workplace habits sure to endanger ones longevity on the job.
Even with this small amount of insight, many aspiring professionals can learn how to maintain their good standing in the workplace and actually excel on the job rather than self-destruct. Employee turnover hurts not only those receiving their walking papers, but employers as well since this is a costly, through avoidable, expense.
With this in mind, serial Labor Losers can benefit by knowing these 10 key ways to get your self canned:
1.Failing to have a life plan All very successful people have a clear life plan, whether memorized or actually written down. They create it, massage it, and refer to it often.
2.Not keeping your skill set current The business landscape is ever-changing and there is more demand for jobs than supply. Not staying on par with colleagues and those vying for your job will be a deathnell.
3.Failing to deliver results Winners in business know that its all about accountability. Those who harbor a sense of entitlement for simply having put forth effort, irrespective of the results of those efforts, are guaranteed to fall by the wayside.
4.Confusing efficiency with effectiveness Those who think that communicating via e-mail replaces the need to actually talk with people around them fail to recognize the importance of personally connecting with others in todays highly automated and technological environment. Communicating in person whenever possible is imperative for success-seekers.
5.Believing that you are irreplaceable There is no room for divas in the workplace. As soon as you convince yourself that you and only you can do the job right, your star will surely start to fall.
6.Knowing all the answers The old adage remains true: knowledge is power. Professing to know it all can readily stagnate a career. Winners remain unceasingly interested in learning new ideas and approaches.
7.Surrounding your self with brown-nosers Losers like having people tell them how smart they are, whether or not its true, while successful managers and other professionals accept and encourage intelligence and creativity in others.
8.Forgetting to give credit to others Losers inappropriately take full credit for positive events despite the help or input received by others, while Winners give credit where credit is due. Losers inevitably reap what they sow.
9.Failing to self promote Bragging is one thing, but letting colleagues throughout your industry know of your success through case studies, promotion bulletins, or other such tools is quite another. Losers often fail to recognize the importance of letting others know about their successes, or go about it in entirely the wrong way.
10.Losing perspective Intuitive business people recognize that, despite their best attempts to do everything right, sometimes they approach roadblocks and seek the advice and perspective of a respected friend, colleague or even a business coach. Those who fail to recognize their shortcomings are destined for the unemployment line.

The Top 10 Ways To Manage Your Career
Posted on July 7th, 2008
Many people in the last decade have experienced either a layoff or termination in their lives or the lives of somebody they know. While many of these people affected have experienced outplacement-consulting services, some have not and they may be in for a rude awakening - corporations no longer take care of you. Managing your career in these times require you to have a game plan and an understanding of yourself and human behavior. That is why outplacement consulting and career coaches have become so popular and are being sought out by individuals, not just corporations. A career coach can help you manage more than just your career, they can help you communicate better and get along with others better.
1.Know Thyself
Most people don’t know what they really want in their careers. They have a degree and they went out into the world. 20 years later, they dont have a clue why life sucks. There are some very good assessment to determine personality types, preferences, skill, attitudes and interest. An honest assessment of what you like to do in the style you prefer and with whom you want to do it with, goes along way in determining what you should be doing in you career and in life for that matter.
2.Establish a game plan
What is most important to you in your career? You must know how to navigate using the tools granted to you by God. When was the last time you actually wrote down what creates satisfaction in your job.
3.Think of yourself as self employedalways
Job search is not something you do daily; as your skills in a sport get rusty without practice, so do your job search skills. What are the latest techniques and best practices, how can you maximize your network, etc.
4.Develop a clear and concise message about who you are and what you most want to-do
When you know what you’re good at and what you want, you go for it, and people stand out of your way. You no longer have competition. You no longer self sabotage or tolerate the behavior of other associates or bosses.
5.Tell everyone in your network what you want
6.Stay motivated
It’s not about pumping you up. It is about realizing how you were wired since birth and how to use that programming to achieve happiness. We call these values and beliefs. Knowing what is important will make it easy to say no to things and people that waste your time. At the same time, you will discover opportunities that in the past have eluded you.
7.Continue to promote yourself
Most people get caught up in the politics of the office. Circumventing this will energize you and put you leaps and bounds above your peers.
8.Get out of your comfort zone
We get caught in our comfort zone; before long however, this comfort zone becomes a rut. It is at this point that we become complacent. Complacency leads to poor performance and poor performance leads to job termination. Continue to take risk. There is no failure in life only outcomesif you dont like the outcome, make a course adjust or change and keep on truckin.
9.Stay in top physical condition
There are more people on drugs; today than ever in our society. Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Xanax, Valium, Viagra, while some people have medical reasons for taking these, research has shown that many of these disorders stem from burnout. Knowing what is important in all areas of your life as well as your career allows you to have peace of mind and balance.
10.Re-evaluate your values and goals yearly
How did you do this year, what needs improvement? What areas of your life need more attention? How are you measuring and tracking that?
