Over-Exaggerating Yourself: This is the most common mistake professionals commit while working, they either over explain themselves or over exaggerate in explaining things and finally end up perceived completely wrong by their colleagues or managers. In case we require an off for a day, we sometimes over-explain our situation to our employers to prove why actually need an off. A long synopsis is unnecessary. Instead you can be specific and precise why you need one and end the process.

Not Speaking Up In Meetings: There’s no excuse for not speaking up when you’re called to a meeting irrespective of whether you’re a newbie at the company or a veteran who holds multiple divisions. Never underestimate the importance of your contributions. Your creative idea is certainly a good prospective. More often than not, someone else will say the idea, which came to your mind and everyone will end up loving the idea. Make sure you don’t let this happen; you’re the authority of your own ideas and speak confidently about them.

The best way to go by is to inform your manager in prior how much work you can handle. It’s okay to speak up and let your manager know when you will complete the assigned tasks.
