Do Not Be Arrogant
By: Harrison Barnes



Career Mission's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes discussed how arrogance can never help you succeed.

Harrison strongly believes that the most arrogant people are often the most uncertain of themselves. Out of insecurity many people decide that it is important to project an image that they are better than others, and to come across as if they know exactly what they are doing at all times; nothing bothers them; and they know more than everybody else.

People who use power to portray an “I’m better than you” attitude generally do not do well. On the road to success the worst thing you can do is act as if you think you are better than everybody else.  So many people hurt themselves and others through arrogance. Arrogant behavior broadcasts to the world that you are weak and afraid, afraid for people to see who you really are. It can de detrimental to your career as well as your personal life.

One of the greatest skills we can possess is the ability to make people empathize with us, sympathize with us and, most importantly, want to help us. Some of the most powerful people in the business world have developed an extraordinary ability to make others identify with them, and even feel sorry for them. There is no sense in being arrogant: If others want to help you the odds of success are going to be much higher. Developing a personality that makes people want to help you can reap huge rewards for you in every area of your life.

Work to develop empathy amongst your peers, not resentment or anger. The more people can empathize with you the better off you will be.  Exuding arrogance is an invitation to others to push you down and it is also a sign of weakness.

"The documents look great! You must have spent a lot of time on these. If I need any more help, I'll let you know, but this is really excellent work. Thanks for the quick turnaround and professionalism too. I'm very impressed. Your company really does great work! I'm definitely going to recommend you to my co-worker.

"Working as a paralegal for the past ten years while taking care of my kids, I have found it hard to get my foot in the door for more serious positions. I thought I might have been presenting myself poorly, so I paid for a resume edit. The new version was so different and more detailed than my original. If only I had thought of this stuff ten years ago! Thanks for helping me with this. After completing coursework for my degree this term, I think I may finally be able to land a new position."
