Although your own internal measurements are the most important, you will occasionally need to seek external feedback on your progress toward your goals. When you do, be sure it is from people who are truly interested in seeing you succeed. Don't seek feedback from fair-weather friends, competitive peers, or any person who doesn't have your best interests at heart. Neutral doesn't count. Get feedback from someone who is on your side but will still be objective and honest with you.

Top 10 Annoying Habits at Work
A big part of many jobs is to collaborate effectively with others. That's tough to do if your colleagues and supervisors find you irritating. And it's easier than you might think to rub people the wrong way, even when you're sitting at your desk minding your own business.

Jen Star of The Jennifer Group, a New York City-based recruiting firm that specializes in placing and maintaining support staff, cites 10 surefire ways to become a workplace annoyance:

1. You're Unprepared
"Showing up for meetings, interviews or arranged work sessions without the equipment or data that you need demonstrates a lack of respect for your coworkers and yourself," Star says. "And it wastes time. Get off on the right foot, and make like a scout and be prepared."

A few years ago, the AARP asked some attorneys if they would offer basic services to needy retirees at $30 an hour. Everyone of them said “NO, NO, NO!” But then the AARP had a brilliant idea: They asked the same lawyers if they would offer their services to needy retirees for free. Overwhelmingly, they said yes.

How could $00 per hour be more attractive than $30 an hour?
The original offer seemed insulting, a request for legal services at below-market wages. But when the request was reframed as volunteer work -- and therefore meaningful -- most were happy to oblige … because they enjoyed their work.  Those who said “No,” the second time, probably looked at their work in terms of money, with a minimal sense of satisfaction or enjoyment.

The lawyers who said “NO” had not learned that whatever you do for a living should be a natural outlet for your energy and enthusiasm. What could be more copacetic than to love what you do and feel that it matters?  Connie Podesta only needed two minutes to explain the concept.

Active listening is a way of listening and responding to another person that improves mutual understanding. Often when people talk to each other, they don't listen attentively. They are often distracted, half listening, half thinking about something else. When people are engaged in a conflict, they are often busy formulating a response to what is being said. They assume that they have heard what their opponent is saying many times before, so rather than paying attention, they focus on how they can respond to win the argument.
