Is one of your colleague behaving strangely? Has your manager’s attitude changed? Fear of getting fired, of losing a potential promotion or simply to look bad can trigger various reactions. You may not always understand where these behaviors are coming from so how can you tell the reason behind people’s behavior at the office. Below are 15 signs I frequently noticed that help me determine if people are insecure so that I can implement corrective measures to help them increase their performance and become more successful in their role.
- High need of recognition
- Amplifies their success
- Doesn’t share information
- Doesn’t give credit to others
- Makes every situation about them
- Wants to be in the spotlight
- Doesn’t accept feedback
- Worries he/she will miss out some critical information
- Surrounds himself/herself with weak individuals
- Puts down other people
- Doesn’t delegate
- Takes credit for other people’s accomplishments
- Wonders what others think of him/her or say about him/her
- Doesn’t trust others
- Acts as a victim
Next time you notice some of these signs, you may want to take a different approach to increase your chances of achieving your goal.
