Career Development: How Not To Succeed In Life

I find that black and white thinking sabotages our chances of success. For instance, you may have come to a decision that your boss is very strategic in his focus, so you always give big picture ideas, and never prepare for a time when he needs details. When you get scolded by your boss, rather than accept responsibility, you blame your boss for having two minds.

Blaming is easy.
Taking responsibility is hard.
It’s no wonder so few people actually succeed in real life.

The Blame Game

I was just watching the 2009 Oprah Show “Class In America” and listening to how so many people are getting angry and upset by people who are rich. Sure, there’s lots of people who are now retrenched and can’t find a job, but I think this has probably caused a change in consciousness.

Recently, I was conducting a training program for a corporation. One guy in particular was pretty low in energy and was constantly not paying attention, looking away and appearing fairly uninterested. He was probably in his mid-40s. During the second day, I had a chance to interact with this person and found out that he had been retrenched for over 18 months and was on this new job for only a few months.
