In \u003ci\u003eThe 12 Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The fact is, most people learn their greatest lessons not from their successes but from their mistakes. \u003ci\u003eThe 12 Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back\u003c\/i\u003e offers the flip side to Stephen Covey's approach in \u003ci\u003eThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.
