10 things NOT to do in the workplace if you want to take control of your career:

Thread//

1. Seeking validation from others

By looking to others for approval, you show you lack confidence in yourself

This will make others lose confidence need in you, closing many doors for progression

They may also see this as a weakness and use it to control you for their own gain

2. Complain too much

Yes, there are often a lot of things to complain about in the workplace.

But if you want to progress, you need to be the guy that finds solutions. Not the guy that complains all the time.

Complaining a lot will likely take you off the radar for promotion

3. Overthinking

Everyone thinks things through when making a decision, but sometimes you just gotta get out of your head and get things done.

To progress, you need to be the doer, not the thinker

4. Playing the blame game

If you want to be a good manager one day, you gotta take personal responsibility.

Blaming others is the opposite of responsibility, and no one will trust you.

Not taking part in the blame game also reduces toxicity in the workplace
