There are two types of people: responsive and resistant. Responsive people are self-aware and have a consciousness that is not steeped in victim mentality, but rather in responsibility. Responsive people are the best employees, and spouses, and children. Resistant people, on the other hand, are exhausting. They hate to admit their mistakes and will more easily pass the blame than admit a fault. Resistance is pride, which shows itself as insecurity. Admitting mistakes is a fundamental part of being responsive. Influence rises when people admit their mistakes, unless of course they make the same mistake consistently. Self-preservation undermines our ability to influence others. Secure people can take a role in the small company rather than the large corporation. Secure, confident people are those that people want to follow. Individuals will have to learn the skills of reverse and add them to their gears to become secure, confident, humble, responsive leaders.
