"Nothing so conclusively proves a man's ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself" - Thomas J. Watson Sr.
Developing your character is the goal, not pretending to. One cannot persuade others, control, assess, help, build, create - without doing this FIRST ON AND WITH THEMSELVES.
The reason why you fail in social situations, things like sales or workplace, life in general etc. is based on a failure in one on these 3 Major Columns ( that should be mastered):
1. Observation.
2. Communication.
3. Self Management.
The experience of life is about error and truth, most people quit because they fail.
Failure is part of the process of truth and victory, and you must understand to deal with this and not self sabotage to infinity, not embody victimhood or pity unnecessarily - just because you can.
The above 3 aspects can then be seen as also:
1. Awareness, Knowledge, Wisdom, Strategy, Planning, Congruence, Harmony.
2. Timing, Patience, Communication, Transition.
3. Action, Discipline, Transformation.
You can create your list from the above primary reasons. With the above, judge your own failures in life and write what was lacking honestly. Then do so with your victories as well.
"Character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion" - Aristotle
