Chris Collins identifies five mistakes that tank job performance: repeating what doesn't work, only fighting fires, blaming others, refusing to change, and caring more about being liked than being effective. He adds that finding a mentor helps.
Okay. They perpetuate a negative feedback loop. They keep doing things the way they were always done, expecting a different result.
Number two, they are playing defense. They're just putting out fires. Number three, they externalize responsibility. Lots of excuses. Number four, they don't reinvent themselves. Death by a thousand paper cuts. Number five, they want to be liked over being effective. And then extra credit is finding a mentor. Yeah.
