AND GAMBLING ON RISKS

 Chapter 5. ABZ Planning and Gambling on Risks.
Decide for yourself if you are ready 
to make a breakthrough in your 
career right now? The answer to this 
question is not as obvious as it might 
seem. Look at the pros and cons with 
this list of risks. 
Moving up the career 
ladder: risks and stages 
of development
Conflict between role
and personality. 
Some people lack a natural 
disposition towards leader-
ship. They may be soft-spoken 
or anxious, which can make 
it difficult for them to lead 
a whole team. Sometimes, 
you have to invest a lot of your 
physical and psychological 
resources in order to properly 
adjust to your new position. 
This can negatively affect your 
health. The same goes for a lack 
of expertise. If you feel that you 
got a new job prematurely, or 
you didn’t deserve it - that may 
put more pressure on you. This 
can sometimes lead to somatic 
disorders. 
Office politics. 
Opportunities for promo-
tions are often accompanied 
by competition between 
coworkers. A person of high 
status is an easy target for 
rumors and gossip. They face 
an increased risk of falling 
victim to office politics.
