Competitiveness can be a powerful source of ambition and even self-doubt. It is important to admire your peers’ successes, this can allow you to focus on your own potential.
GLUTTONY
Knowing how to ask for help or delegate tasks prevents damaging behavior that results in tasks that are not done correctly and on time.
SLOTH
Valuable employees master time management, work efficiently, and practice self-discipline. Motivate yourself at work, set realistic deadlines and goals. Complete tasks you dislike intermittently with tasks that you enjoy.
GREED
Sharing and giving credit to your coworkers is a sign of a mature employee. Focus on the good of the company and not personal advancement. Giving your time to help other employees shows that you can be a leader.
LUST
