Bad habits and blind spots are your worst enemy.  Last year we conducted a workshop for a medical sales organization.  The Sales Director was a "High D" personality style.  His way of leading his sales team was to micromanage.  He was curt and never smiled.  I guess intimidation was what he thought worked best. If he only knew the truth.

Throughout the workshop he hovered over them like a hawk looking for its prey.  You could feel this palpable feeling of anxiety.  His sales team sat still and did not participate.   How can you have a successful sales organization when your sales people are being mismanaged?

Make sure you read the article below on eliminating bad habits.  You will become a better person. 

Let us know if you have a story about a bad management situation. We would like to hear from you.

Eliminate Habits That Are Holding You Back
Are bad habits holding you back? Discover success both personally and professionally by taking control over bad habits and making permanent changes to improve yourself. You have the power to create positive habits for yourself.
Self-control is essential in breaking bad habits and it has huge implications for success.  High productivity and a strong work ethics prove to be the foundation of self-control that develops good habits.
See the seven tips below:
Overuse of technology
Too much screen time prevents productive sleep. Most of our favorite devices produce short-wavelength blue lights that affect our mood and sleep quality. When you are exposed to this light for an extended time in the evening, your production of melatonin is affected. All devices should be avoided after 7:00 pm.
Focus on your conversation 
Conversations are more engaging, effective, and enjoyable if you ignore all distractions. Quit checking your phone for emails, texts, and updates at every turn. Turn off notifications and silence your phone in order to focus on those around you and tasks at hand.
It is okay to say "No" 
Research shows that it is easier to say "yes" than "no." There are many competing priorities in business and personal life and you need to decide what you can say no to every single day. You need to honor the projects and people that benefit your life most and say no to those that don't.
Stop focusing on toxic people
There will always be toxic people who have a way of getting under your skin and staying there. Dealing with such an individual can be difficult and draining, to say the least. In fact, it may challenge what you know about yourself and push you to the limits. Stop focusing on toxic people, instead, practice being grateful for someone positive in your life.
Multitasking
To be successful; you must give meetings your full attention. Multitasking during meetings is disrespectful to your team and everyone else in the room. It shows that you are not interested in what anyone has to say. Avoid this distracting habit.
Gossip
Gossiping is poison to any team. It may be human nature for people to talk about each other, but that doesn't mean you have to put up with it. Gossip pushes people apart instead of pulling them together, and everyone knows you can't trust a gossiper.
Comparisons
You can't be happy when your life is spent comparing yourself to others. Being content gives you the power to focus on your life and work. By focusing on yourself, you become the master of your own happiness.
Change is difficult, but once you break the mold and focus on practicing self-control, you have the ability to accelerate your career to new levels and eliminate the bad habits. v
