RE: Across At Myself

Dang your company pushes all the envelopes, doesn't it? Interesting questionnaire.

This was for me - not company wide. But I have to say, the company has been supportive of personal growth.

This becomes a weakness when I allow the value in others' perspectives to eclipse my own.

What do you think is the trigger for this? Is it when you get the sense they have more "authority" (in some way) than you?

Sort:  

If they wield authoritarian mannerisms, I am easily cowed. I developed this sorry trait as a child; my father was very scary if anyone disagreed with him and, for a long time, I had no opinions of my own. I've gotten better about this, but I tend not to speak up if I am the only one in a group with a certain point of view, the kind of point of view that is getting many arrested in other countries. It's not quite illegal to think in the US. Yet.
