Character As A Key Metric For Success
I’ve been thinking about the impact of character in our careers.
The “success” I’ve had has come from consistent character, not just skill. I’ve been granted “access” before I had skill. That’s a beautiful thing — it signals that those around you trust in you enough based mostly on character. Why? Because good character is embedded with qualities that see things through and do them well.
BE:
Consistent
Proactive
Authentic
Honest
Respectful
Skilled
Level Headed
Organized
Loyal
Ethical
Be a great collaborator and pleasing to be around
SO YOU CAN BECOME:
Better
Trustworthy
Reliable
First Pick
AND GAIN:
Access
Responsibility
Strength
Value
Don’t take character for granted. It’s a currency that will take you a long way if you steward it.
