Ten Best Personality Traits

The best psychologists in history have been men. They are also the most influential philosophers.

Men are great at examining human behavior, and they do it extremely well.

However, there’s a problem with this approach. A philosopher named Hans Jurgen Habermas named ten personality traits he believed to be more important than the average man (see list).

These traits are called “best” because they are considered to be so good for success in life. In fact, if you were born to them, they guarantee your career success.

The best are hard to measure, but there is no reason why any person can’t be good with these traits.

On January 1, 2001, I began my investigation into what makes a successful woman in today’s world.

I wanted to know whether or not being successful had anything to do with being outstanding in some areas of life or just being exceptional as an individual.

So I checked out the greatest female brains since then, and that was when I learned that having all the best characteristics is far more than simply being good at everything.

In the following list the traits mentioned with their respective names and examples, in chronological order:

1) Self-Confidence

Self-confidence is one of the most important things you can have because in today’s social media age, you might lose it over time. To get back on track, self-confidence means believing in yourself, seeing yourself as competent, strong and determined, and staying away from people who tell you what you can’t do.

2) Discipline

Discipline is always going to be a critical factor in your life because nobody wants to be held accountable. If you’re a perfectionist this trait explains why you only want to see things done as perfectly as possible. Being disciplined means having discipline.

3) Reliability

Reliability is basically your ability to function with others. You must rely on your team members and other people to accomplish some task or situation that involves some sort of commitment such as work or family relationships. People need to depend upon you to complete the task. It is because reliability is the ability to perform consistently within a timeframe or otherwise.

4) Consistency

Constant improvement in your personal and professional life doesn’t come overnight. As your career progresses, you should be able to stay consistent in every area of life. Being consistent tells me that you love the process and believe you will always succeed in whatever career you choose.

5) Time management

Time management plays critical role for people and organizations because it allows for a better flow of information, resources and supplies. Having time to plan your daily schedule and how to execute your plans ensures you keep ahead of your deadlines.

6) Communication

Communication is important because without communication, everything is lost. When communicating, whether through writing, talking to others or doing social events, you will ensure you make everyone happy and satisfied. Therefore, having good communication skills is paramount for success and for living up to your potential as a leader and manager.

7) Endurance

The constant practice of physical exercise keeps your body healthy, active and full of energy. Exercises build muscle mass and keep you focused so that by the end of each week, you feel physically stronger and stronger. This trait demonstrates you are a big fan of exercising and sticking to a fitness routine daily.

8) Flexibility

Flexibility is a trait that shows leadership qualities. While you’re dealing with obstacles and problems related to various aspects of your life, you will always find ways to cope and change your course of action. Flexibility is the capability to adjust to changes in circumstances without getting frustrated or discouraged.

9) Innovation

Innovation means using what’s available at hand and coming up with new ideas and solutions to make things happen so that it benefits both the company and its shareholders. Innovative people like business leaders are constantly looking to expand their market share and engage customers in different businesses. Also, an innovative CEO will use technology to enhance their sales process and encourage their workforce to embrace changes.

10) Creativity

Creativity also refers to the innovation of different products in the current field. Leaders like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates continuously generate new products while creating new markets. Creating new innovations to solve the problems of your organization will help you achieve your goals.
