Positive Attitude


A positive attitude in the office is critical to keeping the morale up; however, the opposite typically takes place around the water cooler. Instead of joining forces and approaching the problems in a positive light, negativity breeds. I’ll be the first to admit it, the conversation can be pretty entertaining resulting in a few laughs, but this only creates a false sense of acceptance over the situation, the problems are still there, just humorous.

People want to be around positive attitudes; it really does create a much more productive environment. Attached are a few links to some sites with best practices to review and put into action. One of these actions includes taking the negative thoughts, writing them down, and then re-writing with a positive perspective. Go ahead and try this, then respond to this post with the results.
