Passage C: Questions 41-45
If you want to have a successful career, you need to start by examining yourself first.Everyone has some sort of Achilles Heel, and identifying it is the first step towards preventing yourcareer from derailment. James Waldroop is a business psychologist and the creator of Career Leader,an online career assessment program. The program came about after Waldroop and HarvardUniversity business professor Timothy Butler studied employees and their bad habits for almosttwo decades. They found that bad habits such as letting low self-esteem undermine your ability,doing too much, avoiding conflict, not establishing boundaries, letting fear drive you, not beingemotionally in tune, fighting too much with authority and convention, and having no purpose ordirection contributed to career paralysis. However, these behaviors could be changed. First, youhave to admit your weakness, then make a plan for change and then actually do something to rewireyour brain to eliminate the bad habits. For example, someone who has problems with authorityneeds to take a more middle-of-the-road approach by listening to a supervisor without becomingoverly deferential.
