Have you ever wondered why some people seem to rise
effortlessly to the top, while others are stuck in the same
job year after year? Have you ever felt you are falling
short of your career potential? Have you wondered if some of
the things you do–or don’t do–at work might be hamstringing
your ambitions? In The 12 Bad Habits That Hold Good
People Back, James Waldroop and Timothy Butler identify
the twelve habits that–whether you are a retail clerk or a
law firm partner, work in technology or in a factory–are
almost guaranteed to hold you back.
The fact is,
most people learn their greatest lessons not from their
successes but from their mistakes. The 12 Bad Habits That
Hold Good People Back offers the flip side to Stephen
Covey’s approach in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
People, zeroing in on the most common behavior that can
impede a career. Based on over twenty years of research as
business psychologists, the authors claim that the reasons
people fail in their jobs are the same everywhere. Only
after these detrimental behaviors have been identified can
the patterns that limit career advancement be broken.
Using real-life accounts of clients they have
worked with at Harvard and as executive coaches at such
companies as GTE, Sony, GE, and McKinsey & Co., Waldroop
and Butler offer invaluable–and in some cases,
job-saving–step-by-step advice on how readers can change
their behavior to get back on track.
For anyone
seeking to achieve his or her career ambitions, The 12
Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back is a powerful tool
for unleashing true potential.
