“In reality, failure is simply feedback. It’s not that you are bad or not good enough or incapable. Failure (or feedback) gives you the opportunity to look at what’s not working and figure out how to make it work.”

In one of his articles, Dan Shawbel explains which are the most common mistakes to avoid on your workplace. As is well known, even the brightest rising stars can find themselves falling more rapidly than they could imagine, and all because of some mistakes which could be easily avoided. Here you can find the most common ones:
1. Being too political;
2. Multi-tasking too much;
3. Complaining about work;
4. Making promises you can’t keep;
5. Pretending you’re in charge when you’re not;
6. Focusing all your attention on your job;
7. Not being opportunistic;
8. Not learning from your mistakes.
