A person with good character is respectful, trustworthy, responsible, honest and caring to everyone regardless of age, race, sex or religious affiliation.
Character should not be confused in its entirety with personality.
character. The former is bigger than the latter, because it is the sum total of honour, integrity, self discipline and behavior (personality traits) that forms the totality of good character.
Little wonder that character cannot be bought with money. It is priceless, for the simple reason that consistent self-discipline and self-control is required for anyone to develop greatness of character.
Good character all round is what builds and infuses the culture of any organization with the same team spirit. It enables them to work together and achieve greater success. Work productivity levels go up and the team bond well together
What is your own character like? Are you coachable? Do you always let your ego get in the way? Whether you work as an employee, or you are self employed, are you able to work well in a TEAM filled with people of different personalities?
Remember TEAM means "Together Everyone Achieves More". You can't go it alone. You will still need to network and connect with people no matter what you do.
As a result, synergy or team work, is about harnessing all your interpersonal skills and using it to compliment the skills of others to produce a desired result.
Finally, don't let your questionable character, ego, indiscipline, lack of integrity, lone ranger attitude, etc impede you from connecting and working with the right people to take you to the next level.
A bad character is similar to a bad attitude. As the popular saying goes, " a bad attitude is like a punctured tyre. Unless you change it, you are not going anywhere".
