Three Powers of a Positive Attitude
Three Powers of a Positive Attitude
September 5, 2001
The three powers of a positive attitude lead to a positive work environment. It is nearly impossible for negativity to survive against them. Ask yourself this question: 'How can I give myself, or teach others, these three powers?'
1. A positive, fun attitude that causes good things to happen.
* Do you or your colleagues have this power?
2. A creative attitude that sees new ideas and many solutions.
* Do you or your colleagues have this power?
3. An energizing attitude that triggers enthusiasm.
* Do you or your colleagues have this power?
These three powers are not elusive: They are demonstrated every day in all different kinds of places. Practitioners of these powers seem to block out the negativity around them, and, equally important, they positively influence the attitudes of others (Topchik, 2001, pp. 151, 156)."
