Most of the articles that I write have to do with personal character traits. I believe leadership is all about character and attitude. This includes things like temperament, personality, disposition, energy, stamina, strength, and most importantly, moral fiber. All of these areas require learning and discipline. The following seven negative character traits are listed to help you recognize them and avoid them.
1. Indifference: This is the mild approach to life. Apathy. Brought on by lack of direction. CURE: Get worked up about something! Hang around strong-minded people. Become focused on and committed to your major goal in life.
2. Indecision: This is mental paralysis brought on by vacillating hesitancy. Indecision is the greatest thief of opportunity, time, and happiness. CURE: Learn to make decisions knowing some of them are going to be wrong.
3. Doubt: Doubt is about a chronically negative mind. This is just plain being too skeptical. Self-doubt is the worst kind because it self-limits and robs you of conviction. CURE: Trust God, people, and programs.
Tune in tomorrow for the rest. Until then, have a great day!
