Attitude Matters

Keeping a positive attitude is important no matter role you may have at work. However, the more people you lead, the more essential it is that you give close attention to your attitude.

In fact, the attitude of a manager or supervisor will be a major factor in determining what the climate is within your work group or team. Actually, your attitude is the only thing that is totally under your control.

Positive attitude is not a giddy, fake, or glib approach to work. You don't have to be Pollyanna, or ignore the reality of situations. Rather it is the intentional effort to be positive, upbeat and look for the best in people and situations. There are enough challenges in each day to aggravate, confuse and be the stimulus for stress. The gift you bring to others is emotional resilience.
