10 Positive Personality Traits


Personal Development blogger, Alex Shalman, recently published 10 Traits To Be Perceived As A Winner. Alex believes that a person with these traits is more likely to be trusted, loved, and respected by others. Within his blog he also states that "in order to have a winning personality, it is of utmost importance to have everyone’s best interest in mind." This resonates with Stephen Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Specifically habits number 4; Think Win/Win - Principles of Interpersonal Leadership, and habit number 5; Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood - Principles of Empathetic Communication.

The 10 traits that Alex identifies are:

  1. Exhibit integrity
  2. Do not speak badly of others
  3. Stay optimistic
  4. Help others when you can
  5. High ambitions
  6. Kind and compassionate
  7. Believe in and respect yourself
  8. Persist until you succeed
  9. Open mindedness
  10. Take responsibility
Alex concludes his blog posting with a question; "How would having a winning personality affect you in business and relationships?"
