«The shoe that fits one person, pinches another»
Carl Jung
Who do you not have to play golf with?
Do you sell the same
way to this guy,
… as you would to
this guy?
I think you have no integrity, and that you are a wimp that never get to the point.
I think you are aggressive, impolite and
arrogant.
I see a credibility problemI see a personality problem
Why is it like this?
Personal style, and/or personality. Formed before your 9th birthday, and hard, if not impossible to change. But don’t despair, improving your understanding of it, as well as your communications- and other interaction skills, will make you great at collaborating with everyone.
