When Nice Gets You Nowhere: 101 Habits Keeping You Stuck In Your Career
Being nice at work shouldn’t hold you back. But too often, it does.
When Nice Gets You Nowhere is a clear-eyed look at the everyday habits that keep capable, hardworking professionals stuck in roles that don’t match their potential. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, undervalued, or quietly passed over despite doing everything “right,” this book will show you why.
With insight and practical guidance, it walks you through 101 behaviors that may seem harmless—or even helpful—but can limit your career growth. These include things like avoiding conflict, downplaying your strengths, over-apologizing, or taking on too much without recognition.
