I've often thought that I would like to emulate people whom I observe to be much the same person no matter what the company. (I think I've picked up a bit of Mr. Franklin's flavor.) I've seen many people that take on different personas with 'the guys', their S.O., their boss, etc. It must be more specific than that though. Someone could be the same happy asshole to all of the above and not fit the requirements. I think it's more to do with treating everyone in their sphere with some minimum respect; not pandering to the boss nor abusing the waiter, knowing and being who they are rather than acting cool. The only examples that come immediately to mind are male. I'm not certain if it's because such individuals stand out more among men, or if my evaluation of women is something else entirely. Something to think about another time.
