Seven Habits Of Highly Ineffective People

by Utpal Vaishnav on December 28, 2008

Do you want to be ineffective? Look no further. Here are the cool 7 ways to be one.

  1. Be Reactive: React to external forces. Wait for the things to happen to you. Be ‘Effect’ in the matter, not the cause.
  2. Begin without the End In Mind: Take life as it happens. Planning is a total time waster. What’s the hack is Goal?
  3. Put First Things Last: Focus on urgent and easy tasks. No matter if completion of the ‘urgent’ task is not going to help you anywhere. Allow people to drag you with their actions. Do not have a stand of doing the right thing.
  4. Think Win-Loose: What the hell is mutual benefit? I must win. No matter what happens to your interest. Develop strategies for short term benefits. Who has seen the future?
  5. Do Not Try to Understand. Expect that Everyone should Understand me: Interpersonal Relationships? Ugh… Listening to other person is a waste of time. I’m right, you are not so just don’t argue.
  6. Acrimony: I like conflicts. When I fire someone for little or no reason, I enjoy. No one can solve any problem with mutual trust and understanding. Only dectectorship works. Acrimony is the word that I love most!
  7. Dampen the Saw: I think I have learned everything. What’s the need to increase production capacity? I am perfect. I can’t be improved now.
