1. Deadlines Matter! When you were in school, making a mistake on a test or handing in work late only affected you. But at work, mistakes can impact your boss, your co-workers and your company. People might end up staying late to fix your work, miss their own deadlines or lose important business because of you.
“Teachers may extend deadlines or allow makeup assignments, but in the business world that won’t work. If you are having trouble meeting a deadline or prioritizing your tasks, ask for guidance from your manager before the deadline has passed,” said Kim Jones, VP at Toshiba America Business Solutions.
