It is no secret that our personality and behaviour greatly impact our lives. Although corporate life is a different ballgame altogether, the general rules apply here as well. While personality traits develop and change over a long span of time, behaviour can be influenced both by personality traits and situation. He who has mastered the art of recognising these traits and act accordingly, is more likely to be successful in achieving goals and corporate ventures. Similarly, it enables the person with more grasp on his behaviour towards a particular situation, which in fact affects the success and failure ratio.
The wondrous world of cinema has created quite a number of such films where the impact of one’s personality and behaviour has become the entire plot of the film. “Catch Me If You Can”, “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Boiler Room” have become the staples of the genre.
Who knew that stories about con men can be so much of a learning experience? Just a quick tip, if you do start watching any of these movies, please do watch till the end. Otherwise, chances are that you would end up with a very wrong idea of success.
That being said, let’s dwell upon the theory of success a little bit. The parameters of success differ from individual to individual. While one may look at it in terms of monetary gain, to others it would be coming home early and spending quality time with family. May what it be, if you look at success from the perspective of monetary gain, it is most likely to become an addictive chase. Exactly what happened to the protagonists of the mentioned films. Success got into their head. So much so that they lose control over themselves and all that remained in focus is the idea of gaining more.
To sum it up, there is no denying that our personality impacts our behaviour and as a result it impacts our corporate life, and even personal life for that matter. Success and failure are all the more an idea related to these factors than mere facts or statuesque. Thus, how to play it off depends upon an individual.
