We all require assistance from others at some time in our life, especially those in positions of more authority or power.
To be attractive to them, it becomes proper to exhibit certain qualities, such as patience, humility, dedication and other virtues.
Similar to this, certain behaviours might lower a person’s likelihood of receiving the assistance they need, most especially from their superiors.
In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some toxic attitudes you should avoid in your working environment.
1. Lack of appreciation.
A lack of thanks on your part for the service received might make the helper reluctant to continue helping you. Everyone likes to be appreciated, and if they don’t feel that they are, they may not want to continue helping. The only way to ask for further assistance is to express your gratitude for the great deed done for you.
2. Pride.
Being so obsessed with your ability, skill, or personality that you ignore others is a habit that will make people avoid you and may even make them reluctant to assist you. One key quality you must have is humility, which will put you in a position to ask your superiors and others for guidance and support.
3. The sense of entitlement.
The attitude of expecting financial gain or other advantages when little to nothing has been done to earn them is known as the entitlement mentality. This may cause others to avoid you or even help you.
4. Being lazy or taking things with a carefree attitude.
The reality is that nobody wants to put their money into someone who has a poor attitude toward work or who tends to be quite careless and sluggish when given a task to do. A person of economic or social significance wouldn’t want to be connected with someone who demonstrates such carelessness.
5. Offering justifications for mistakes or incompetence.
Being the type of person who frequently makes excuses for their ineptitude, particularly at their work, is a disposition that will enrage your superiors and may cause them to underrate you.
Such an impression might lead people to underestimate your importance to the organization you work for or cause them to overlook you for a promotion.
