Like/dislike of a person isn't a binary value. I can think of several people who are very dear to me, yet who have some aspect of their character I find terrible to live or work with. Do I like them? Yes, absolutely. Do I want them to change that aspect? Yes, absolutely!
Working to overcome your own arrogance isn't primarily about fixing a technical work-related problem, it's about treating people the way you'd want to be treated.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoIf you're arrogant, you don't really mind if others are, too, so that formula doesn't really work. If you're at work, just keep work conversations moving in a productive direction. Nobody sensible is going to really dislike you if you're arrogant and basically transparent and forthright in personality. I mean, there's the kind of people that go around looking for reasons to categorize people as good and bad, but you shouldn't worry about them. (They're bad!)
