I Have Grown Complacent and Arrogant

It's been a long time since I've lost written a post on here and before I got to the topic at hand let me just say that work has been stressful, fast paced, fickle like a cat and just generally speaking a complete disaster. In other words I'm absolutely loving it.

I have always flourished in situations where chaos and uncertainty rule. I'm guessing it has something to do with my aggressive and authoritarian attitude coupled with a strong personality that can capture and swing people's opinions - at least according to the JP Morgan interview feedback. "...strong personality that can lead and influence the entire group."

Now the issue at hand - due to the above quality I have been able to stand up and be counted when things go from bad to worse and for the last 2 years I have managed to continually impress my superiors in handling terrible situations by remaining relatively calm and just go back to the fundamentals - the small and basic things.

But now I'm starting to be in a completely different ball game now, I'm starting to get a view of the top and now more than ever I should go back to make sure that the basic foundations are built properly and from there I need to expand my repertoire, and sharpen my skills.

But instead I have grown increasing arrogant and ignoring all the warning signs. I have grown complacent without looking to further innovate the product that I have been calling DX.

The DX brand name is currently strong and like any other strong brand it needs to continue to deliver strong results as well as innovate - and it is in this that I've failed.
