The Career Derailers

Wonder what will derail your career?  Think about these:

H - Halving the truth; even the little white lies will catch up with you - did you really return that email?
U - Unpreparedness causes a loss of confidence from everyone who is counting on you
B - Bad language - no matter how rough everyone else speaks someone is expecting better of you
R - Rolling in late or leaving early...those few minutes either way can create the wrong impression
I -  Insensitivity to others will lose you friends and your job - there are expectations for how you work, act, dress and talk. If you are out of touch on these -watch out!
S - Self-promotion that goes too far helps you out the door

And of course, too much "Hubris"!  (learn from Ron Johnson and JC Penney)
