The person who came up with the word "career" was not wrong when designing it from the word “carrus” (lat. wagon, wheeled vehicle) Because sometimes moving through the ranks is so difficult! Meanwhile, certain people can never move forward. CleverControl decided to classify these types of people and asked experts for help. So, what kind of employees will never get promoted:
"办公室浮游生物"
A passive office worker is a regular ballast of many organizations. Such people wander from company to company, usually without stopping anywhere for more than a year. But some sub-species of “plankton” might stay in one place for decades. If the company does not have clear performance indicators, then identifying plankton in the muddy water is quite difficult. And even if there are no other candidates for promotion the plankton is unlikely to be offered a new position because he or she is not adapted for development. Emma Weber, General Director, founder of the consulting center "WE": "One of the main criteria in promotions is self-development and training on an ongoing basis. Nobody needs employees with no initiative for self-development."
迟到者
He is always late and cannot finish any of the tasks in time – these are all classic signs of an unproductive employee. Surprisingly, latecomers are not always young and inexperienced but often they are people over 40. The only thing they have succeeded in is finding a new reason for each time they are late, creating the impression of hard work in the few working hours that are in the office and disappear as soon as the working day has ended. It often turns out that they are either in the wrong profession or are not too fond of working in general. If you will approach such employee with the simplest question he or she usually cannot spend even a minute of their “precious” time on you. Emma Weber continues: "If the employee uses phrases like "I don't have time for that" "I can’t do it in time", "I don't know" and works "within the parameters of the job description" doing the absolute minimum these are the first signs of the lack of the desire for self-improvement. The manager will always notice those employees who work hard and provide results." "Latecomers sometimes are mixed up with the really hard working counterpart but the latter has a high KPI and a rapidly growing career. As for the latecomer, he or she came too late for a promotion.
无知者无畏
Many experts suggest excluding the phrase "I don't know", which was already mentioned above, from the lexicon: how can an employee be called a specialist if he or she uses it? Meanwhile, ignoramuses are met here and there and they are not used to being responsible for anything. Psychologist Anna Wright comments: "No sane manager will ever promote an employee who is pathologically afraid of taking responsibility on any issue. Such employee chooses avoidant behavior and prefers to "know nothing" or phrases like "I am not sure of the answer, so it is best to consult my colleague". The employee may feel that he or she is being careful but, in fact, this behavior looks like incompetence and mistrust. Therefore, this employee’s name will never come up in discussions of promotions."
没有野心的人
No ambition - no promotion. Such a person may work like “the plankton” but the latter still shows ambition sometimes (although it is mostly based on nothing). And again we cannot do without talking about responsibility. Managing partner of the marketing agency "ByWing" Jacob Wade comments: "For me, it is important that the employees are ambitious, not afraid of responsibility, and are prepared to take on challenging tasks."
"OK，Google-Guy"，或 "EveryDayfly"
有一段时间，你真的可以在办公室里 "飞来飞去"，每天请同事帮忙，因为为什么要花精力去完成自己的任务呢？但在这种情况下，你不太可能有一个光明的职业生涯。雅各布-韦德继续说道。"员工不能不断地寻求帮助，寻找简单的解决方案，因为这无助于员工的发展。如果专家想在事业上有所发展，他或她需要了解管理人员所面临的工作量和复杂性"。
人为错误
From most of your unhappy customers, you hear this employee’s name - the "human error" employee. Errors in details and major misconceptions indicate that the employee’s professional development has stopped. And usually, this means that the career has stopped with it. "A key factor that keeps employees from being promoted is regular errors and a complete professional stagnation," says Jacob Wade.
冲突中的侵略者
喜欢任何形式和形状的冲突的人也是不好的晋升人选。谁会喜欢团队中永无止境的混乱？熄灭自己内心的火，数到十，平静下来。任何问题总是可以和平解决的。做一个外交家，学会控制自己的情绪。如果你把精力花在冲突上，就会有更少的精力留在发展和成长、灵感和主动性上，解决复杂而负责的任务。而这些，从我们专家的评论中可以看出，是职业发展的关键参数。
