What qualities do you think are the most deadly in the workplace?

It helps a lot to like people. Research shows that people always like to work with lovely colleagues who are not very skilled, rather than strong and inflexible colleagues. The study found that if employees are not liked, it doesn't matter whether they are good at their jobs or not, because other employees will avoid them.

2. Lack of team spirit

No one will feel comfortable with people who think highly of themselves. And the company has a way to deal with employees who destroy the team. Just ask philadelphia eagles's catcher Terrell Owens. He was banned in the 2005 season for repeatedly attacking and publicly making offensive remarks to teammates and management. Show that you are a good team member and that you have the greater interests of the company at heart.

3. Deal with personal affairs during office hours

The company's mail and telephone systems serve the company's business. It's best to make fewer short personal calls and never make a phone call that requires a box of tissues. Similarly, never type anything in an email that you don't want your boss to see; Many systems save deleted messages to the administrator folder. And we can't tell you how many poor guys were fired because they clicked the "reply to everyone" button, which led to vulgar jokes spreading everywhere-or worse-scolding the boss and being seen by everyone.

Isolate oneself

Don't isolate yourself. Develop and utilize your relationships with the company and others in the industry. People who communicate effectively occupy a better position in resources and information and can cross institutional political barriers more quickly. Research shows that people who communicate effectively usually work for more successful teams, get better performance evaluation, get more promotions and higher salaries.

5. Fear of risk or failure

If you don't believe in yourself, no one will believe you. Keep a "can do" mentality and dare to take risks. Don't say, "I've never done that," say, "I'll learn to do it." Don't be afraid of failure or mistakes. If you really screwed up, admit it and move on. In short, look for learning opportunities in every job. Remember, over time, avoiding risks is more harmful to your career than making mistakes.
