7 Ways to Let Others Down

1. Overpromise.



2. Change previously agreed-upon plans and don't tell the others.



3. Disregard deadlines.



4. Wait to start your portion of any project until it is impossible to do a decent job.



5. Pretend that you're capable of handling work that is out of your league.



6. Consistently seize upon any convenient alibi [ill, tired, stressed out, etc.) to justify your nonperformance.



7. Dedicate neither enthusiasm nor energy to any project.
