What is the end result? The majority of time

Here are my top ten failures I observe of employees, like us.

1. Continuing in a job I dislike
I stay in a job which does not suit me. I always ask myself, "What am I good at?" and, "What do I enjoy?", but I do nothing about the answers.

I do not seek and secure a job that has at least some of the elements of the answers. I miss the opportunity to shine in a job that I will enjoy and thereby advance my career and remuneration.

2. Never asking questions
The boss asks me to do something. I leave their office not understanding what they really wanted. Or I leave the office thinking I know exactly what they wanted. In either case I did not ask a clarifying question.

Do You Have the Level of Competence That Sells?
Competence is your knowledge and ability in a particular subject area. Competency can be real, perceived, or imagined. True competence comes from life-long learning and experience that gradually taught you what you know. Perceived competence comes from other people judging you based on external factors and their experiences with you. A study shows that competence can increase sales. An experimenter in a mall approached unsuspecting patrons and asked them to buy raffle tickets. In the first situation, the experimenter dazzled the shoppers with his incredible calculating ability when in actuali

What to Include in Your Marketing Plan Write-Up
For those new to marketing planning, the thought of completing a plan from start to finish may feel daunting. It need not. The level of detail you choose to include in your marketing plan will depend on your resources and situation. If you have extremely limited manpower or other resources, you may be constrained to a "broad brush" approach. If your plan must support your Website’s validity to others in the company, a lot of back-up detail may be appropriate.Basic Marketing Plan ContentInclude a summary at the beginning. Like any business report, your plan write-up should begin with a summar

What is the end result? The majority of times I deliver something back which requires a major revision or is completely off track. The reason I did not ask questions in the first place is some misplaced view about how competent I might be seen if I ask clarifying questions.

Returning time and again with work which requires revision, leaves people in no doubt about my competence.

5. Never saying, "I don't know"
Pride or fear stop me from saying to the boss, "I don't know" to a question which requires a factual answer. I either make a best guess or I pick an answer I have a vague recollection of from another conversation I had with another colleague.

"I don't know, but I'll find out", is an answer I find difficult to say; even though coming back within a short time with a more considered answer saves time and rework.
