Earn nods from your bosses by cutting out the following notorious habits.
Every business opportunity that comes your way is another chance to broaden your market and resume. With this in mind, then the idea of not being the very best version of yourself in the corporate world could be defined as serious waste of talent.

1. Lateness
Sounds like it’s no big deal but as basic a matter as it is, lateness shows an inability to be dependable especially during critical time sensitive issues.
2. Hangover

You know that piece of work your boss gave you last week that you haven’t completed yet? Do it and finish. The faster you are the more efficient your boss thinks you are. Guess who’ll they give that high profile deal to handle?
4. Gossip
Minding your own business during office hours has proven to the most full proof way to avoid office scandal and drama. Follow your bosses instructions for authoritative protection and avoid all the rumor mongering going round about other people in the office.
5. Getting emotional
It’s never a personal problem. If you are having a problem with someone in the office, you are better off dealing with it in a calm and collected manner instead of exploding in anger.
