Are you a James Cameron or a Leonardo Dicaprio?

The Golden Globe Awards concluded last night with James Cameron's acceptance of the award for Best Picture of the Year. It also included Leonardo DiCaprio's reaction to the speech.

During his speech, Cameron told the Hollywood stars to give themselves a round of applause for having the greatest jobs in the world. Then, he told them to applaud themselves a second time for entertaining the world.

As if the awards shows are not self-aggrandizing enough, the award-winning director told everyone to applaud themselves even more!

During the brief speech, cameras turned to Leonardo DiCaprio, who put his hands down and did not applaud. The look of disbelief on his face was priceless, as if he were telling Cameron to get over himself.

Cameron seemed surprised at the lack of applause his instructions to applaud received. Very few people applauded either time.

Hollywood's in-crowd gets it. Nearly everyone else in the room understood how arrogant and untimely it was for Cameron to pat himself on the back and ask the same of Hollywood's elite.

Not all industries have awards like Hollywood does, but all have a few leaders with attitudes like Cameron's.  Unfortunately, the Camerons of the world don't recognize themselves. But, the people around them do.

Ponder for a moment: are you are more like Cameron or DiCaprio?

Think about how others respond to you. Make sure you're not the Cameron in your office. Make sure others are not thinking you need to get over yourself, the way Leonardo DiCaprio seemed to be thinking of Cameron last night.
