10種致命的職場(chǎng)行為
10 Fatal Career Moves
It takes anywhere from three to 15 months to find the right job -- yet just days or weeks to lose it. Here are 10 traits that are career poison:
1. Possessing Poor People Skills
A little likeability can go a long way. Studies by both the Harvard Business Review and Fast Company magazine show that people consistently and overwhelmingly prefer to work with likeable, less-skilled co-workers than with highly competent jerks. Researchers found that if employees are disliked, it's almost irrelevant whether they're good at what they do, because other workers will avoid them.
2. Not Being a Team Player
No one feels comfortable around a prima donna. And organizations have ways of dealing with employees who subvert the team. Just ask Philadelphia Eagles Wide Receiver Terrell Owens, who was suspended for the 2005 season after repeatedly clashing and taking public shots at his teammates and management. Show you're a team player by making your boss look like a star and demonstrating that you've got the greater good of the organization at heart.
3. Missing Deadlines
If the deadline is Wednesday, first thing Thursday won't cut it. Organizations need people they can depend on. Missing deadlines is not only unprofessional; it can play havoc with others' schedules and make your boss look bad. When making commitments, it's best to under-promise and over-deliver. Then, pull an all-nighter if you have to. It's that important.
4. Conducting Personal Business on Company Time
The company e-mail and phone systems are for company business. Keep personal phone calls brief and few -- and never take a call that will require a box of tissues to get through. Also, never type anything in an e-mail that you don't want read by your boss; many systems save deleted messages to a master file. And we can't tell you how many poor souls have gotten fired for hitting the "Reply All" button and disseminating off-color jokes -- or worse yet -- rants about their boss for all to see.
5. Isolating Yourself
Don't isolate yourself. Develop and use relationships with others in your company and profession. Those who network effectively have an inside track on resources and information and can more quickly cut through organizational politics. Research shows effective networkers tend to serve on more successful teams, get better performance reviews, receive more promotions and be more highly compensated.
6. Starting an Office Romance
Unless you're in separate locations, office romances are a bad idea. If you become involved with your boss, your accomplishments and promotions will be suspect; if you date a subordinate, you leave yourself open to charges of sexual harassment. And if it ends badly, you're at risk of everyone knowing about it and witnessing the unpleasantness.
7. Fearing Risk or Failure
If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will. Have a can-do attitude and take risks. Instead of saying, "I've never done that," say, "I'll learn how." Don't be afraid to fail or make mistakes. If you do mess up, admit it and move on. Above all, find the learning opportunities in every situation. Remember, over time, risk-aversion can be more hazardous to your career than error.
8. Having No Goals
Failure doesn't lie in not reaching your goal, but in not having a goal to reach. Set objectives and plan your daily activities around achieving them. Eighty percent of your effectiveness comes from 20 percent of your activities. Manage your priorities and focus on those tasks that support your goals.
9. Neglecting Your Image
Fair or not, appearance counts. People draw all kinds of conclusions from the way you present yourself. So don't come to work poorly groomed or in inappropriate attire. Be honest, use proper grammar and avoid slang and expletives. You want to project an image of competence, character and commitment.
10. Being Indiscreet
Cubicles, hallways, elevators, bathrooms -- even commuter trains -- are not your private domain. Be careful where you hold conversations and what you say to whom. Don't tell off-color jokes, reveal company secrets, gossip about co-workers or espouse your views on race, religion or the boss' personality. Because while there is such a thing as free speech, it's not so free if it costs you your job!

10種致命的職場(chǎng)行為
找個(gè)合適的工作需要3到15個(gè)月——然而丟掉飯碗只需要幾天或幾周。這兒是10個(gè)職場(chǎng)毒藥的特質(zhì)：
1. 糟糕的人際技巧
一點(diǎn)兒可愛會(huì)大有幫助�！豆鹕虡I(yè)評(píng)論》和《快速公司》雜志的研究均表明和那些能力強(qiáng)而呆板的人相比，人們一致而且不可遏制地更喜歡和那些可愛的、不那么熟練的同事工作。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)如果員工不被喜歡，那么他們是否擅長(zhǎng)自己的工作顯得無關(guān)緊要了，因?yàn)槠渌麊T工會(huì)回避他們。
2. 缺乏團(tuán)隊(duì)精神
沒有人在驕傲的女主角周圍感覺舒服。而且公司有辦法對(duì)付那些破壞團(tuán)隊(duì)的員工。只要問問費(fèi)城鷹隊(duì)的外接員特雷爾·歐文斯（Philadelphia Eagles Wide Receiver Terrell Owens）就知道了。在反復(fù)抨擊和公開對(duì)其隊(duì)友和管理層發(fā)表攻擊性言辭后，他被停賽2005賽季。表現(xiàn)得你是一個(gè)好的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員，讓你老板看起來像個(gè)明星并表明你心里想著公司更大的利益。
3. 錯(cuò)過最后期限
如果最后期限是周三，把它作為周四首要的事毫無意義。公司需要他們可以依賴的人。錯(cuò)過最后期限不僅不專業(yè)；也會(huì)嚴(yán)重破壞別人的日程安排并讓你老板臉色難看。當(dāng)做出承諾的時(shí)候，最好保守一點(diǎn)兒答應(yīng)并呈交好點(diǎn)兒的。那么，如果不得已，只好開夜車。那真的很重要。
4. 在上班時(shí)間處理私人事務(wù)
公司的郵件和電話系統(tǒng)是為了公司業(yè)務(wù)。使私人電話少而簡(jiǎn)短——并且永遠(yuǎn)不要打那種用掉一盒紙巾才能打完的電話。同樣，永遠(yuǎn)不要在郵件里鍵入任何你不想被你的老板看到的東西；許多系統(tǒng)將刪除的消息保存到一個(gè)管理員文件夾。并且我們無法告訴你多少可憐的家伙已經(jīng)因?yàn)辄c(diǎn)擊“回復(fù)所有”按鈕或傳播低俗笑話——或更糟——怒罵老板被所有人看到而被炒魷魚的。
5. 孤立自己
不要孤立你自己。發(fā)展并利用你與公司和行業(yè)的其他人的關(guān)系。那些有效溝通的人對(duì)于資源和信息占據(jù)更有利地位，能更快地越過機(jī)構(gòu)政治藩籬。研究表明有效溝通的人往往供職于更成功的團(tuán)隊(duì)，得到更好的績(jī)效評(píng)價(jià)，受到更多的提升和更高的報(bào)酬。
6. 開始辦公室戀情
除非你們?cè)诓煌牡胤�，辦公室戀情是個(gè)糟糕的主意。如果你已經(jīng)和你老板有染，你的成就和晉升機(jī)會(huì)就值得懷疑了；如果你和下屬談戀愛，你會(huì)把自己暴露給性騷擾的指控。并且如果事情不愉快地結(jié)束，你有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)得對(duì)付每個(gè)知道的人和對(duì)此不悅的人。
7. 害怕風(fēng)險(xiǎn)或失敗
如果你自己都不相信自己，就沒有別人會(huì)相信你。保持一個(gè)“能行”的態(tài)度，敢于冒險(xiǎn)。不要說，“我從沒做過那個(gè)，”要說，“我會(huì)學(xué)著做。”不要害怕失敗或犯錯(cuò)。如果你真的把事情弄糟了，承認(rèn)之，然后繼續(xù)。總之，在每個(gè)工作中找到學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)。記住，隨著時(shí)間，規(guī)避風(fēng)險(xiǎn)比錯(cuò)誤對(duì)你的職業(yè)生涯會(huì)更有害。
8. 沒有目標(biāo)
失敗并不在于沒達(dá)到你的目標(biāo)，而在于沒有目標(biāo)去努力。設(shè)定目標(biāo)并為實(shí)現(xiàn)它計(jì)劃你每日的活動(dòng)。百分之八十你的效益來自20的工作。管理好你的重點(diǎn)，集中于那些支持你目標(biāo)的任務(wù)上。
9. 忽視個(gè)人形象
不管公平不公平，外表很重要。人們從你的展現(xiàn)自己的方式中產(chǎn)生各種看法。因此，不要不梳洗或穿不適合的衣服來上班。坦誠，用正確的語法并避免俗話和咒罵。你應(yīng)該突出一種能力、個(gè)性和承擔(dān)。
10. 不慎重
小隔間、走廊、電梯、浴室——甚至市郊火車——不是你的私人領(lǐng)地。小心你進(jìn)行交談的位置和你說的話。不要講低俗的笑話、泄露公司機(jī)密、講同事的閑話或宣揚(yáng)你關(guān)于種族、宗教的觀點(diǎn)或你老板的人格。因?yàn)楸M管有言論自由這回事，但如果以失去你的工作為代價(jià)那它就不這么自由了。
