| Miguel’s co-workers at the printing company don’t know what to make of him. One day he’s smiling and friendly, a real team player. The next, he’s short and curt, getting antagonistic over minor things, especially when he’s asked to revise one of his graphics. When things go well, he’s happy; but let a problem pop up, and he becomes defensive, hostile, and belligerent. Working with Miguel is like teaming with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde1). You never know whom you’ll get. While Miguel’s co-workers like his ideas, trying to work with him is difficult. Miguel himself isn’t sure who he is. He sold himself in the interview as a confident self-starter, but, inside, he’s overwhelmed and scared. He’s putting up a big front, but he knows it can’t last much longer. Who Are You? Identifying your personality traits is the first step in developing a good attitude. Are you a positive, confident person or are you shy and reserved? Do you tackle problems head on, looking for solutions, or do you find someone to blame? Traits define us. They help us succeed, or they hold us back. Self-awareness, or understanding the factors that make up your personality, is an important step toward happiness, and happiness is the key feature of a good attitude. To become self-aware, it is important to take an honest inventory of both your good and bad traits. What are the characteristics that people compliment you on? Are you “dependable”, “responsible”, or “solid”? Pay attention to the compliments because they are a confirmation of your strongest traits. You can use these traits to create an even better image. Framing Your Personality People form opinions based on what they perceive about you. Whether they are right or wrong doesn’t enter the equation. You, however, can change their perceptions by demonstrating the personality traits and attitudes that match the way you want to be viewed. In becoming self-aware, understanding how others see you is an important step. This can be painful; but if you誶e brave enough to try it, it can be an excellent growth experience. Making a Change Change is not easy, especially when it has to do with our behavior. You should break the behavior change into small steps because small steps are easier to achieve and more likely to last. The greatest success factor in change is personal desire. You have to want to change for yourself; the change won’t be permanent if you do it for someone else. Take these steps if you want to change a behavior. 1.Recognize the trait that needs changing. Be honest; self-denial doesn’t work. 2.Establish personality goals. If you don’t know where you誶e going, you won’t get there. 3.Decide what you must do to change. Write the steps you must take and tape them to a wall or mirror. 4.Practice the change you want. Practice makes perfect; just ask any great athlete, speaker, or musician. 5.Evaluate your success and develop a new plan if needed. Don’t be afraid to change your plan if it doesn’t work for you. |
