Get out of your own way at work--and help others do the same : conquer self-defeating behavior on the job / Mark Goulston.

Goulston, Mark. (Author).

Summary:

A practical guide to help workers and managers deal with the self-sabotage that stands in the way of career advancement and satisfaction. Self-defeating behavior is the most common reason that people put their jobs, careers, and reputations in jeopardy. Whether it's as simple as a breach of etiquette or a fear of learning new things, expecting too much from employers or failure to delegate, these behaviors lead to frustration, confusion, guilt, defensiveness, and self-doubt that will seriously hurt or even derail a career, no matter how intelligent or qualified a person might be. This book covers forty of the most common self-defeating behaviors, explains why we sabotage ourselves, and offers proven steps to transform behavior from self-defeating to life-enhancing.--From publisher description.
