84Definition Of CharacterThe word character comes to us from a Greek verb that means making a furrow, cutting a groove, or putting a scratch on something as a mark. In the light of its origin, we may think of character as that which puts its mark on a human being.

Character is what makes you what you are as distinct from other persons. The individual is little more than a bundle of feelings unless there is some central loyalty within creating order out of the chaos of the soul. Character signifies the organization of life and behavior around a central loyalty, which has ethical worth and validity.

Interpersonal EffectivenessInterpersonal effectiveness is the capability of an individual to do this, influence others, competently.Leadership is a direct function of three elements of interpersonal effectivenessAwarenessAbilityCommitment

Interpersonal Effectiveness

AwarenessAwareness is a state of consciousness.It is the ability to recognize yourself, others, events and situations in real time.It is the ability to assess the impact of actions on situations and others, and be critically self-reflective.It is a development process that is a function of experience, communication, self discovery and feedback.

AbilityAbility to learn and understand technical issues is the basis of our careers.Ability to lead is a function of influence:Ability to communicateAbility to resolve conflictsAbility to solve problems and make decisionsAs a member of a team, we influence others in a collaborative effort to find better ideas or solve problems.

CommitmentFor leaders, the one thing that leads to maturity is the fully aware recognition that ones decisions make a difference, both positively and negatively, in the lives of others, and that any attempt to solve a problem might have a decided negative impact on some, while helping others.In no-win scenarios, one must still make a hard decision.

Personality IndicatorsAre you energized around people? Do you like to meet people and seek opportunities to do so? Do you think out loud? Do you talk to plants and discuss problems with animals? This is Extrovert behavior.Alternatively, do you find you would rather work alone, without interruption. Does meeting too many people tend to tire you out? Would you sooner not answer the phone - let the answering machine do it for you. Would you rather have a problem written down for you than stated verbally? This is typical Introvert behavior.
