«The shoe that fits one person, pinches another»

Carl Jung

Who do you not have to play golf with?

Do you sell the same

way to this guy,

… as you would to

this guy?

I think you have no integrity, and that you are a wimp that never get to the point.

I think you are aggressive, impolite and

arrogant.

I see a credibility problemI see a personality problem

Why is it like this?

Personal style, and/or personality. Formed before your 9th birthday, and hard, if not impossible to change. But don’t despair, improving your understanding of it, as well as your communications- and other interaction skills, will make you great at collaborating with everyone.
