1. Facing disappointment without growing bitter or vengeful. People will let you down. You put yourself on the line for them, and they drop the ball.
2. Believing you’re more important than others – loving the spotlight.
3. Feeling like you deserve better. Having people assume you have selfish motives, for example.
4. Needing to be right.
5. Pushing forward when it’s time to pull back. Perseverance has a dark side.
6. Choosing to defend your ideas rather than explore theirs.
7. Navigating backstabbers, butt-kissers, and yes-men. They can’t be
trusted because self-interest, rather than organizational interest,
dominates their approach. They tell you what you want to hear.
8. Making tough decisions that invite negative responses.
9. Repeating the past. If everyone was like you and circumstances didn’t change, you could succeed by repeating the past.
10. Thinking knowledge and experience, in one area, makes you knowledgeable in others. Healthy confidence becomes blind foolishness.
