The Inside-Out approach to personal and interpersonal effect

The Inside-Out approach to personal and interpersonal effectiveness means to start first with self; even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self -- with your paradigms, your character, and your motives.

It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves.
