Why is it that so many smart, ambitious professionals are less productive and satisfied than they should or could be? Why do so many of them find their upward trajectories flattening into a plateau? In our experience—Tom’s as a business school professor and consultant and Sara’s as a psychiatrist—high achievers often let anxiety about their performance compromise their progress. Because they’re used to having things come easily to them, they tend to shy away from assignments that will truly test them and require them to learn new skills.

They have successful images to preserve, so instead of embracing risk, they hunker down and lock themselves into routines—at the expense of personal growth. We’ve seen this time and again with the executives and managers we’ve counseled—between us, some 600 professionals over a combined 35 years. Many high performers would rather do the wrong thing well than do the right thing poorly. How To Calculate A Percentage? - Blurtit. Percentages are compared to 100% because all of something is 100% of it. Essentially, percentages are a fraction of 100. To calculate what a percent of something is (say 56% of 80) you just think of the words "percent of" as "Multiply. " So 56 X 80 = 4,480 Following this, you put the decimal point two places (for the two zeros in 100) to the left. So 4480, becomes 44.80. So, 56% of 80 = 44.8 If you don't understand why the zero was dropped, it is because zeros past the numbers to the right of a decimal point are treated the same as zeros to the left of the numbers on the left of the decimal point.

For example: 007. The zeros are there to let you know that this 7 is in the one-thousandth place and the number is actually the fraction 7/1000; but if the number is .700 we know the fraction is 7/10 whether or not we have zeros to the right of it, so the zeros to the right of it are unnecessary and just writing .7 is fine.
