If you find yourself frequently saying, "I'm so busy," you may be unintentionally undermining your credibility, writes leadership coach Scott Cochrane. Others can perceive you as disorganized, unclear on your goals, unable to build a team or trying to impress others with your busyness, Cochrane writes, adding that effective leaders manage to be productive without appearing frantic.
Put it into practice:Proclaiming how busy you are may also be a sign to others that you've mismanaged a project oryou're just trying to look like you're hustling all the time, Cochrane writes. "So keep your goals clear, your projects in-line and your teams on task."
