Below is response to Eric Jackson’s Forbes article, “The 8 Dumbest Career-Ending Mistakes That Smart People Make.”
This article is spot on. However, what is really at work for those dumb mistakes that smart people make is that their inherent personality risk factors are running amok, and are simply out of control. Often, this career peril is caused with a cocktail of the Egotist, Rule Breaker, and Upstager risks that run rampant to the point that these shining stars begin to feel invincible. Frequently, on the rise, the fall out of their bad behaviors are ignored due to the glowing project successes. Then, they do the unforgivable and cross the line.
If you know what your inherent risk factors are, you can manage them more productively or prevent them from taking a toll on your performance, relationships, and career. If you don’t know what they are via an appropriate measurement instrument, they often run amok without you realizing it.
