Stunting Professional Growth
Many people wish to advance their careers and climb those corporate ladders, but they won't get far unless they are organized. Poor organizational skills make people less efficient and less effective, and in the business world those are two qualities that do not bode well with employers. Disorganization can cause employees to confuse dates, mix up assignments, miss deadlines and, in turn, this makes them unreliable and undependable. According to Texas A&M University, some types of jobs--such as engineering--require good organizational skills to get the job done. When a position calls for an employee to be orderly, but they cannot exhibit signs of good organizational skills, it can result in the employee being dismissed from a project or terminated from their position.
