These eight personality traits are considered helping a person to become a distinguished personality and enhance the characteristic to an extended level. So, here are the eight most observed personality traits of highly effective people.
1. Self-regulation:
Self-regulation is the ability to scrutinize and manage your energy, emotions, and behaviors in an acceptable way and produce positive results such as well-being, learning, and loving relationships. Moreover, it helps you manage your emotions successfully. Managing your emotions successfully means you’ll be able to react to negative situations sensibly rather than emotionally. In other words, taking time to think before you act is the first step towards success in any area of your life.
2. Resilience:
Resilient people love to take risks and try new things in their personal as well as in practical business lives. They’re not afraid of failures because they know how to handle situations gently. Intelligence is admirable, but being unable to handle things going wrong is not rather than surrendering to failure. Resilient people accept that something didn’t work and go about finding a different and successful solution. Here are the 7 Secrets of My Success in Life.

People with a growth mindset welcome challenges and setbacks with open arms. Not only do they fiercely believe in their ability to master whatever they turn their mind to, but they also outperform those without a growth mindset, even when they have a lower IQ (Intelligence quotient).
4. Empathy:
Thinking of others rather than yourself is one of the topmost traits of highly effective people. Wish what you love for others too. A sympathetic person is loved by everyone and accepted by every type of community. Moreover putting yourself on the same page as your clients or colleagues will enable you to build reports and reduce tension. Having empathy is the difference between saying “I understand your point of view” and “you’re wrong”, which will inevitably stop you in your tracks.
5. Passion:
Passion and motivation keep a vision alive and will never let you exhausted in any way. You always get what you are passionate about hard work and consistency. While knowledge is often a tremendous starting point and an unyielding passion is guaranteed to drive you towards success. However, pursuing something just because you’re good at it and not because you are passionate about it is unlikely to get you to the top. You might also like, How to be Successful in life?

I think that traits are not only inherited or built in but also built up through consistency in maling change in our state of being through actions and emotions coming out of divine love and joy …
Epigenetics say that our genetics or DNA are not fixed and are not only change by the changing environment but also by our actions , food , thoughts , emotions and habits …
Absolutely right friend. According to my experience these traits are changed time to time, strongly depending upon the company we adopt, the knowledge we gain, the practical experience we get and most importantly the increase in our maturity level.
