The 10 Behaviors That Could Kill Your Career Careers rarely follow a smooth, linear trajectory. If you’re experiencing a stalled or faltering career — and most of us do at some point or another — take a good look in the mirror. Are you guilty of exhibiting any of these common behaviors? These ten career-killing pitfalls can mean the difference between an upward ride and a downward spiral at work. If you recognize your own behaviors here, make it your mission to change them — before you have to. In time, you’re likely to see your career move from a stall to a soar. 1) Misfiring on performance or values — Overcommitting and under-delivering. 2) Resistance to change — Failing to embrace new ideas. 3) Being a Problem Identifier vs a Problem Solver. 4) Winning over your boss but not your business peer group. 5) Always worrying about your next career move versus focusing on the present. 6) Running for office – it’s totally transparent to everyone but you! 7) Self-importance — exhibiting a humorless, rigid attitude. 8) Lacking the courage and conviction to push back on the system. 9) Forgetting to develop your own succession plan for when you get promoted. 10) Complacency — you’ve stopped growing.
