Objectivity is everything people! If you cannot be objective and see all sides of something how can you make the right decision in anything? The right attitude has the ability to look at all angles of something and be objective. Just because you may think you are brilliant and all your ideas or thoughts are spot on, doesn’t necessarily make it true. By being narrow minded, you are missing a lot of creative and sometimes brilliant input that could be just the idea or thought that could put you over the top in sales or life period.
You have to be able to be honest with yourself. Be able to admit when you are wrong or that you have totally messed up while at the same time be able to give yourself credit when you come shinning through. Being honest with yourself only improves your self-esteem even when you are having to admit to a failure. It shows people you are human and that even in failure you can stand back and look at it objectively and take the corrective measure to make it right. Others can only respect a person like that.
The right attitude is able to look at themselves in all lights objectively. If you cannot do that, then you cannot make well-informed solid decisions, which is not the right attitude to achieve the success of your dreams.

Objectivity is a good thing, but too many people suffer from tunnel vision. They see only what they want to see and nothing more.
ReplyDeleteYou are sure right about narrow mindedness cutting down on creativity. I see it all the time at work and try very hard not to be affected by it.
ReplyDeleteNot being able to admit your mistakes, also means that you will never learn from them. Let's face it, everyone makes mistakes. The only thing that's wrong with that is not learning the lesson.
ReplyDeleteWe have one or two people at the office who must not be human. According to them, they don't make mistakes. The other people just misinterpreted their actions. Right!
