12 HABITS THAT HOLD GOOD, THE(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Have you ever wondered why some people seem to rise
effortlessly to the top, while others are stuck in the same job
year after year? Have you ever felt you are falling short of your
career potential? Have you wondered if some of the things you do–or
don’t do–at work might be hamstringing your ambitions? In The 12
Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back, James Waldroop and Timothy
Butler identify the twelve habits that–whether you are a retail
clerk or a law firm partner, work in technology or in a factory–are
almost guaranteed to hold you back.
　　The fact is, most people learn their greatest lessons not from
their successes but from their mistakes. The 12 Bad Habits That
Hold Good People Back offers the flip side to Stephen Covey’s
approach in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, zeroing in on
the most common behavior that can impede a career. Based on over
twenty years of research as business psychologists, the authors
claim that the reasons people fail in their jobs are the same
everywhere. Only after these detrimental behaviors have been
identified can the patterns that limit career advancement be
broken.
　　Using real-life accounts of clients they have worked with at
Harvard and as executive coaches at such companies as GTE, Sony,
GE, and McKinsey & Co., Waldroop and Butler offer
invaluable–and in some cases, job-saving–step-by-step advice on how
readers can change their behavior to get back on track.
　　For anyone seeking to achieve his or her career ambitions, The 12
Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back is a powerful tool for
unleashing true potential.
