You can either be sad that every rose has

a thorn,
or rather choose to be happy that every
thorn has a Rose ..

Procrastination.
This habit can seriously hurt you in a work setting, says Dr. Katharine
Brooks, director of Liberal Arts Career Services at The University of
Texas at Austin and author of You Majored in What? Mapping Your
Path from Chaos to Career. If youre one of those folks who believes
that you do your best work at the last minute and put off projects or
assignments until the day (or hour) before theyre due, you may not
be aware of the impact your habit is having on your co-workers. If
your last-minute rush requires others to work quickly, you will likely
anger them, and youll be the first one blamed when a project fails or
isnt completed on time.

Lying.
Misrepresenting your credentials or intentionally plagiarizing, lying on
time sheets or billable hours, misusing expense accounts or abusing
company credit cards, stealing the kudos for a co-workers'
accomplishments, or otherwise robbing your employers blind can all
cost you your job.
The surest way for any of us to bring our career to a sudden and
miserable end is to have the habit of hedging the truth and lying in
ways small and large, says Ann Kaiser Stearns, Ph.D., psychologist
and best-selling author of Living Through Personal Crisis (Idyll Arbor
Press, 2010). Dishonesty is a slippery slope with a devastating crash
waiting at the end, she adds. Whether we work in business or
banking, academia or the army, publishing or philanthropy, housing or

health care, the marketplace or the ministry, if we lack integrity and

betray our employer, we don't deserve to keep our jobs.

Negativity.
So many of us habitually gossip, whine or complain. But do any of
these too often and your job could be on the line. These all lead to
the same end result: you become a headache for your manager, says
Amy Hoover, president of Talent Zoo. Your boss is likely responsible
for ensuring her teams are contributing to positive morale and anyone
on the team who is counterproductive to that reflects poorly on her.
Negative employees are often referred to as 'cancer' by upper
management for good reason: they will eventually be cut out. A good
approach if you have a complaint is to speak with your manager
directly, in private. Never drum up your co-workers for support first.

Tardiness.

If you constantly arrive late to work, or return late from breaks, it

displays an attitude of complacency and carelessness, says Roxanne
Peplow, business career program instructor and student services
advisor at Computer Systems Institute. So be prompt or even a bit
early to show that you are time conscious and that you do care about
your job and other peoples time, as well.
Hoover agrees. Whether you intend to or not, arriving late shows
disrespect to the social contract of the office place as well as your coworkers who do make an effort to arrive one time.

Poor e-mail communication.

This can involve everything from not responding to e-mails to not
being aware of how you come across in an e-mail. You might be
perceived as abrupt or rude, or too long-winded or wordy, Brooks
says. If you have a bad habit of taking too long to check or respond to
e-mails, you could miss important meetings or deadlines, cause delays
or confusion, or come off as unprofessional.

Bad body language habits.

Do you routinely roll your eyes? Do you have a weak handshake? Do
you avoid making eye contact? These could all be career killers.
People must understand that actions speak louder than words,
Peplow says. And the majority of our communication is done through
non-verbal cues. People could perceive some of your non-verbal
communication habits as rude or unprofessional

Inattentiveness.
If youre always distracteda bad habit that plenty of employees
possessyou might fail to properly assess the culture of the
workplace, which can be damaging to your career. Each workplace
has its own culture and style, whether its the official or unofficial dress
code, the social atmosphere, or the official and unofficial hierarchy,
Brooks says. Failure to observe the culture and fit in can create
tension or mark you as different, and potentially less desirable.
Youll also want to be aware of personal habits that might be offensive
or distracting to co-workers. Working in an office setting demands
that you be sensitive to co-workers and not behave in a manner which
distracts them from their work or makes their work setting
uncomfortable, she adds. This can run the range from body odor,
bringing strong-smelling food to your cubicle, playing music too loudly,
telling inappropriate jokes, or using your speaker-phone to make
calls.

Poor grammar.
When you hear someone using poor grammar, slang, or profanity, it
translates into believing that person to be uneducated, says Peplow.
Remind yourself that you are not at home, or speaking with friends at
a social gathering. Be on point by always assuming that your boss is in
earshot.

Lone wolf syndrome.

Have a habit of always wanting to do things on your own? That won't
work in the office. "While independence is good in some situations or
when concentration is needed to get a project done, generally people
who are team players experience more success at work," Brooks says.
Team-playing involves a lot of positive behaviors including giving
credit where it is due (that is, not taking credit for work which a
colleague did), helping others when possible, doing tasks that arent
necessarily in your job description, et cetera. If youre not seen as a
team player, you wont have the support of your colleagues when
problems arise.

Temper tantrums.
If you lose your temper, it is assumed that you cannot work well under
pressure or handle responsibilities well, Peplow says. Practice stress
reduction techniques like mediation or deep breathing exercises, and
never bring personal problems to work.

Inefficiency.
Bad habits like disorganization, wasting time, and being too talkative
can make you an extremely inefficient worker. You may not realize it,

but many of your co-workers are there to work, not socialize, and they
may not want to be rude to you by breaking off from personal
conversations, Hoover says. You dont want to become the person
your colleagues avoid working with because of these bad habits. Keep
the water cooler talk to a minimum, keep your desk organized and
dont spend too much time on non-work-related tasks.

Speaking without thinking.

If youve got foot-in-mouth syndrome, you must control it in the
workplace. Saying something inappropriate in a meeting or in an email can be detrimental to your career.

Lack of manners.
The most important things are what we learned when we were little,
Peplow says. When you ask for something, say please. When
someone gives you something, say thank you. If you dont know
someone, introduce yourself. If you need to interrupt someone, say
excuse me. Manners are important, so dont be rude. And above all,
if you dont have something nice to saydont say anything at all, she
says.

1. Build strong relationships. Networking never

goes out of fashion, no matter what ones level in an
organization. Much as we might like think of staff
reductions as a purely rational process based solely

on individual merit the fact is, during such times

personal relationships do come into play, and can
make the difference between who stays and who
doesnt.
2. Develop multiple skills. The more expertise
you have, the more facets you understand about a
companys operations, the more valuable you make
yourself. As in baseball, theres always a market for
versatile utility infielders who play numerous
positions.
3. Be more than willing. I especially like this one.
Simply but nicely said. In tight times, attitude
matters.
4. Make your boss look good. Obvious, but still
sound career counsel. (Whats the alternative: Make
your boss look bad?)

Tell Me I'm Wrong

"I love when someone smart challenges my thinking," says one boss.

That's not to say you should be arguing with your supervisors on a regular
basis, but if you have a well-thought-out point that disagrees with your
boss's plan, consider bringing it up directly. As this boss says, "I love it even
more when a person has the data/facts or examples to actually make their
point."
Bring the Bad News First
"Don't tell me how fantastic you are. Tell me what is going wrong and, even
more importantly, what it is you are going to do to fix it."
Ultimately, a mistake or issue is your boss's responsibility, so make sure
your supervisor is aware of any large-scale or constant problems. This
doesn't mean you should email every time the printer is a little wonky, but
you should make sure your boss is apprised of any serious issues.
This serves two purposes: First, it lets your boss know you're on top of the
problem and working to fix it. Second, it gives your boss the time to work
on her own solution, or at least prepare for a different course of action ...
and to present it to her boss.
Be Drama-Free
"I don't care if you don't like the person you sit next to or think the the
Post-It notes should be yellow, not blue. Bring me drama and I am certain
that you are not worthy of the next step."
Especially in an office environment, we have to work closely with different
personalities and in less-than-ideal situations. Unless there's a real problem
(read: you feel unsafe or can't complete your work), keep complaints to
yourself. As one boss says, "Your job is to make your boss's life easier, not
plop your drama on his or her lap. Save that for your friends and family or
your diary."

Another boss agrees: "If you gossip a lot, it's a problem."

Smile
"Your boss would like to harbor the fantasy that you actually like your job,
since she is paying you, spending more time with you than her family and
helping you more than you realize," one boss told us. "You can at least smile
and seem like you are enjoying things in return."
You don't need to blind every passerby with your pearly whites, but
remember that no matter how close your deadline or how heavy your
workload, other people will take their cues from you. If you're snapping at
co-workers and frowning, they'll snap and frown right back. Instead, take a
breath, put on a smile and show your boss you appreciate the opportunity.
Take Notes
"We hate having to tell you things over and over. No boss should ever have
to go over directions more than once. If you don't understand the direction
when it is being given, clarify right then and there and take good notes
instead of depending on your memory."
We've all been there--nodding and smiling and filing away the tasks we're
given in a meeting, only to get back to our desks having lost those mental
files. Impress your supervisor by keeping a paper and pen (or laptop, if
that's acceptable at your office) at hand, ready to record the things you need
to remember.
Taking the time to write things down is especially helpful, as it gives you a
minute to process your instructions and think of any questions you need to
ask then and there.
Never Skip the Office Party
You know how they say that as many business deals are made on the golf

course as in the office? That same principle applies to the office party. One
boss points out that skipping the chance to socialize with your co-workers
means you're missing basic office news (think: who is preparing to leave)
and alienating yourself from the people who sit next to you eight-plus hours
of your day.
When it comes time to pick a team member for an advantageous project or
conference in Hawaii, who will be chosen? Not what's-her-name, that girl
who never comes to the party.
Don't Expect to Be Rewarded
"In order to get a promotion, you need to actually be worth it!" says one
boss. "Don't walk around with the air that you deserve it, because that sense
of entitlement is going to get you nowhere."
Confidence is one thing; arrogance is another. Yes, you were the top of your
class in college and yes, you dominated your last project, but it's a fine line
between letting your work speak for you and duct-taping it to your boss's
computer. Worried your boss doesn't notice your achievements? Set up a
meeting to talk about what you've been working on, and ask for feedback.
But don't get too worried your accomplishments are going unnoticed. As
one boss says: "Let's be honest--I promote people with good personalities.
Your ability to be professional and also eager, motivated and thoughtful
about decisions and interactions with others is significant."
Hold Up Your End
"It's awful when you claim to be a team player, but complain when you are
given responsibilities to help on a project."
"Team player" is cliched for a reason--because every boss wants to see that
quality in a potential employee. In recent years, "team" has come to replace

every office unit from department to entire company, and every employee is
expected to be a team player.
Complaining about your role on the team is both futile and aggravating to
your boss. Where is she supposed to find you a sub? If you aren't a team
player, the real fix is to learn the rules of the game ... and fast.
Ask How You Can Help
"You should be asking me if there is anything else you can be working on to
help grow the company or the project, instead of waiting around for me to
tell you what to do."
There's another word for that, one that appears next on the "cliched for a
reason" list: initiative. Clearly, you shouldn't be asking your boss to hold
your hand during every step of a project, but a well-timed "What can I do to
help?" or "I noticed that [task] needs doing--I'll tackle that," is much
appreciated.
Have a Solution
Wrong: "You tell me you have a problem--well, actually, you whine about
something which I understand means you have a problem--and you come
in with zero solutions on how to fix it."
Right: "You come up with new and sucessful ideas on your own and
take initiative to do something we already do and do it better without being
asked."
One boss told us she's happy to give advice to people who ask for it, but
she's "looking to promote people who can think their way out of something
on their own."

To please a boss like this, you can follow one rule of thumb: Never bring up
a problem without a possible solution to recommend. Brainstorm feasible,
reasonable solutions to the problem you have (tips on being a better
brainstormer here). When you present it to your boss, launch right into
what you recommend as a solution.

Know Your Job ... and Do It

"If I have asked you twice and you don't pay any attention to what you need
to do as a part of your job, I will not see you as valuable or smart," says one
boss.
Since you're already taking notes (see tip #5), make sure you scribble
somewhere exactly what your responsibilities are, and make sure you
prioritize them. Along the same lines, it's important to know which tasks
are crucial, and which can take a backseat.
One boss had the following recommendation: "I think the best candidates
for promotion are those who best can gently 'manage up' within their ranks
and can find the balance needed to do gold star work while still knowing
when to draw the line and say, "I can do this for you, or I can do that for
Mr. Smith, but I cannot get both done today. I feel like [this task] is the
priority--would you agree?"
