self-righteous, selfish, and sometimes self-
conscious....often compounded by a lack of
perception and an unwillingness to self-correct.

Simon is hard to impress
You work in an industry where your results are very measurable ... Either your raised the money or you didn't ... Its why you need to be selective in the opportunites you choose... Because both your successes and failures are very public and career ... Bottom line people like hiring people who deliver results
This is important in your industry as well
Your industry is ALL about the follow through... If you don't follow through you wont raise money or gain fans
Positive and solution focused. Be the person at the table who proposes solutions. Who shifts paradigms and reframes things. Positive people can get a BAD rap. Positive people attract. A bonus point on this one. Speak positively about others as well.. Have your teams back.

Its not always about intelligence . Its about strength of will and willingness to to risk appearing the fool.
I am referring most to demeanour here. This is particularly relevent to leaders or aspiring leaders in the room.
We’ll often ask people in interviews what the most meaningful piece f feedback they received... Mine came from Kirsten in about 1997 (im old)
We call it being elegantly understated. Have you ever walked into a house that looked fairly basic from the street and then you go inside and it’s spectacular ... Being a BIG talker gets you no where.
