(1) Do not know how to say "no" to demands on their time and energy.

(2) Lack flexibility.

(3) Regularly suppress their emotions.

(4) Do not respond well to change and insist on doing things the way they’ve always been done.

(5) Fear success and sabotage themselves, whether they are consciously aware that they do so.

(6) Cannot think creatively or "outside the box."

(7) Lack control in their positions.

(8) Assume added responsibility when they are already working at capacity.

(9) Consistently sacrifice their personal lives for work.

(10) Haven’t learned how to effectively manage stress.
