It's not a good idea imho. People that are caricatures are easy to spot and they are usually everything but "authentic". Imho it's better to just be yourself and don't try to change in order to be liked or remembered.
- yamazakiwi 3y agoJust be yourself is only good advice if you are an exceptional person. A lot of people's authentic selves are not efficient for their desired outcomes. It makes sense to hold yourself to a higher standard when you run into incredible challenge. Taking inspiration from others or a "super" version of yourself can be useful. Your authentic self also changes over time. In interpersonal relationships it is better to be authentic, but I don't believe maximizing for authenticity has much value in business.
