You were told some of the following traits were what the team or company needed: • Risk taker • Assertive • Producer, you get things done • Direct and to the point in communication • No B.S., you take no prisoners in pushing a project • Easy going, you can get along with anybody • Tact & Finesse in difficult communication issues Oops!! Then you receive the call to your boss's office right before probation ends, or your performance review begins, or after a difficult project is completed. The conversation might be something like: "Hmm, the staff thinks you don't listen to input and are too abrupt. You're being accused of flirting, being sarcastic, too flexible, not taking charge..." I know I was stunned the first time it happened to me. Why are some people perceived as great when they are assertive and brusque, and others are perceived as mean or abrasive for the same traits? When did being diplomatic get you hired but in trouble if a project is being done too slowly? Here are some tips to make sure you stay on target: • Make sure your job description is crystal clear with you and your boss, and the team • Check in with your peers about how you are perceived after a staff meeting or client call • Monitor yourself. Be yourself; err on the side of caution when expressing opinions and decisions by using supporting data, not just your opinion.

His efforts backfired. Not only did the Academy rebuke Chartier for violating Oscar rules that prohibit mailings promoting a film and disparaging another, but they’ve banned him from the ceremony itself. So even if The Hurt Locker wins big time, Chartier will not be hopping on stage with his fellow producers to accept the academy award for best picture. Imagine a chance of a lifetime – all his friends in tuxedos, celebrating, hooting and hollering and poor Chartier home with the kids, eating a Hungry Man TV dinner, and watching the ceremony on his ten-year-old Toshiba . Ever send an email that got you in trouble? Certainly, it might be rare to lose one’s job or in this case be banned from a celebration, but it’s not unusual to hear management complain about arrogant, attitude-ridden emails that violate ethical, moral, or professional etiquette. To be fair, Chartier immediately bounced an email back apologizing. “"My naïveté, ignorance of the rules and plain stupidity as a first-time nominee is not an excuse for this behavior and I strongly regret it," Here are three rules to consider before sending the email that could ruin your career: 1. Never put anything in writing that you might regret afterwards. Don’t do it. In fact, don’t even write it on the computer. If you need to express your feelings in writing, use a pen. Write on paper. And then burn it afterwards. 2. Always get feedback before sending an email that might spark controversy. 3. Never overreach your boundaries via email. Chartier basically overstepped his bounds. He criticized a competitor and begged voters to support his film. 00:30:00Consultant InsultantnoThe Oscars,E Mail,Banned,Communication,AvatarWith Sunday’s Oscars looming around the corner, Nicholas Chartier reached out to his fellow academy award members by writing a simple but provocative email, imphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/consultantinsultant/2009/10/28/Have-you-embarrassed-yourself-or-someone-else-at-wBusinesshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/consultantinsultant/2009/10/28/Have-you-embarrassed-yourself-or-someone-else-at-w/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/consultantinsultant/2009/10/28/Have-you-embarrassed-yourself-or-someone-else-at-wWed, 28 Oct 2009 14:00:00 GMTWhen Technology Gets the Best of us How does Technology tick you off at work?
