Character

What type of personality works best in the business world? What type works
best with business teams? How can business people reconcile their personalities
with their corporations? Employees need self-knowledge and self-confidence to
succeed in today’s workplace. By figuring out who they are and how they affect
others, they can stay true to themselves and contribute more to—and get more
from—the world of business.

In an ideal world, managers would constantly be thinking about how to best
utilize their people—and clients would always unearth your greatest potential.
Unfortunately, the reality is that bosses and clients are as worried about their
own careers as you are about your own. You must take the task of marketing
your strengths into your own hands.

—Scott Belsky, entrepreneur and author (from his book Making Ideas Happen: Overcoming the
Obstacles between Vision and Reality, 2010)

We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy when
others are fearful.

—Warren Buffett, legendary investor and chairman of Berkshire Hathaway
