De-motivators of an High "I"

• Closely-monitored accountability
• Exacting or routine work; highly structured tasks; heavy details; limited opportunities
• Losing friends or consensus; sharing difficult or unpopular news making others angry or upset
• Negative people continually playing "devil’s advocate” and focusing on “worst case" scenarios; nitpicking perfectionists; unenthusiastic, quiet, or boring people
• Non-participatory management and events
• Physical isolation (alone on the road, in a back cubicle)
• Public embarrassment; feeling disrespected
• Social rejection; feeling left out or ignored; non-communication; no attention or feedback
