10 Behaviors That Could Kill Your Career (by Jack Welch)

I read this good article on LinkedIn Pulse written by Jack Welch. The 10 career killer are behaviours that people conciously would not do but I'm blogging about it because you'll be surprise how predominant these behaviours are. So if you do spot these behaviours within yourself, try changing it before they change you...

  • Misfiring on performance or values — Overcommitting and under-delivering.
  • Resistance to change — Failing to embrace new ideas.
  • Being a Problem Identifier vs a Problem Solver.
  • Winning over your boss but not your business peer group.
  • Always worrying about your next career move versus focusing on the present.
  • Running for office – it’s totally transparent to everyone but you!
  • Self-importance — exhibiting a humorless, rigid attitude.
  • Lacking the courage and conviction to push back on the system.
  • Forgetting to develop your own succession plan for when you get promoted.
  • Complacency — you’ve stopped growing.
