Although errors are certainly useful - because to them we learn - some of them can be avoided.

1. You take everything on yourself and drag alone

Everyone has probably come across to work with such a lone wolf. He is trying hard to prove that he is the only soldier in the field, completely ignoring teamwork. Such a "hero syndrome" usually to no good does not.

At first, this solo work can really impress and earn the recognition of leadership, but it will pass quickly, but on the help of colleagues after this you can not count.

For the success of the company's important work of the whole team, not just your personal contribution.

2. You are ready to suffer for the sake of money and career

Prestige and money - this is certainly good, but is unlikely to get to work as hard, if the relationship with colleagues and

direction It does not add up.

It is no secret that in most cases people leave the company because of disagreements with his superiors. In this case, if the values ​​and principles of the company differ from yours, it is almost always noticeable from the start. However, many dismiss his inner voice for tempting prospects.

Taking the decision to stay in such a company, you are doing a very short-sighted. Work in it, you will be hard and frustrating very quickly want to drop everything.

Before agreeing to a high-paying position, weigh all the "pros" and "cons." Consider whether you want to work with these people.

3. You are fired, without bargaining

spontaneous decision to resign is rarely correct. If you have something does not suit the current work, it is wiser to first discuss this with the management and try to find a compromise.

Usually, sacking staff is for the head as a complete surprise. Care of an experienced specialist - it's always a big loss for the company. Perhaps your boss readily agreed to give you all that you have been offered at the new location, but you have all decided to give it a chance.

Leaders are not always aware of the individual ambitions of each team member. You yourself have to diplomatically tell him about their aspirations, rather than wait until the chief guess increase your salary or pay for training.

Do not be ashamed of their ambitions. On the contrary, if you give them to realize they can benefit not only you but also the company.

4. You do not say what you think

Sometimes we are afraid to protest in silence and prefer to do things that they decided at the top. This is typical for beginners who do not dare to argue with more experienced colleagues.

This line of conduct in the first place, is fraught with the fact that you will be considered a lack of initiative, and secondly, you will soon begin to feel uncomfortable. If you have an idea, they can and should voice. A good leader does not need employees who do not have an opinion and agree with everything they say. These leaders know that some resistance is useful for decision right decisions.

Smart leader always sees when subordinates agree with him only out of a desire to please his superiors. Such fawning is not in your favor.

5. You avoid the risks

Do not be afraid to take responsibility. Of course, much easier and safer to do what is familiar and habitual. The problem is that because you never will not continue on. Yes, you have done errorsBut at the same time you will be in the same place where you are right now.

Speaking at the meeting, proposed a new system, come up with innovative solutions. Of course, you should not do anything rash.

If you have something to offer, offer and demonstrate a willingness to answer for the consequences. This will give you not only an opportunity to express themselves, but also cause the respect of the team, even if you do not do it.
