BAD Habits Are More Than Just A Menace

BAD Habits Are More Than Just A Menace

We're just human and therefore, committing mistakes is as normal as day and night.  BUT studies have shortlisted the top BAD HABITS that Are More Than Just A Menace and out of the top, studies have single out the worst ever BAD HABITS that all add up as paving the way for one to FAIL.  In brief, there is NO single factor causing us to FAIL💴💷💵

Indeed we have all worked with people WHO are star performers BUT have one serious personality shortcoming that makes life difficult for everyone OR limits their effectiveness OR often proves to be their own undoing.  Examples are, one person tends to take on too much work, another scorns the 'behind-the-scene' politicking needed to win support for his/her initiatives OR someone sees a downside in every proposed CHANGE.  To quote one of the executives surveyed in a recent research, '95% BRILLIANT, 5% DISASTER'.  We call those destructive behaviors as "BAD HABITS" as a short way of referring to our deeply-rooted flaws📗📙📘

As no one is perfect, we all wrestle with demons and make mistakes.  BUT we're NOT using this to describe compulsions like smoking or nail biting.  BUT again let's admit that 'BAD HABITS' are a central part of one's personalities.  And at best, people tend to create their own 'GLASS CEILINGS', limiting their success and their contributions.  What's quite bothering is the reason why each of us have our respective 'BAD HABITS' and the obvious reason [as per studies] is our inability to understand the world from the perspective of other people.  It's the lack of empathy, period💎💎💎

Having a well-developed sense of empathy is essential if one is to deal successfully with one's peers.  Another common reason is our failure to recognize WHEN and HOW to use power as many people feel a deep ambivalence about the utility and value of power.  These feelings often stem from unconscious fears of our capacity for destructiveness❎❎❎

And sometimes, it is due to our failure to come to terms with authority. as children, we often rebel against our parents even as we want to remain under their protection.  Some people get stuck at one of the extremes.   At one end are those WHO defy authority in every possible instance.  At the other end are those WHO are overly deferential.  Lastly, it's our NEGATIVE SELF-IMAGE.  Poor esteem can come from various factors.  Some people feel pressure from our achievement-driven culture.  Indeed, BAD HABITS are more than just a menace❗❗❗
