Identify Negative Individuals
Over the years I’ve worked with hundreds if not thousands of different people. I’ve observed the best of the best to the not so great performers. One of the major factors that separate the masses is a positive attitude. To be positive or not to be, that is the question. While it should be an easy answer many people choose to orbit around negativity. We’ve all met or have had to work with these individuals at some point in our career. These are the people that answer the question “How are you” with the first complaint that comes to mind. They complain about the company, it’s services, and the people every chance they get. And the worst part about it is that they try to make you apart of it.
Keep Your Positive Attitude
Don’t partake in those conversations and let people bring you to their level. The more you avoid those individuals the easier it is to focus on the good events of the day. In one of my previous roles I was managing 100+ people with various experience and educational backgrounds. I’m happy to say many of these individuals have since moved up into management roles and have become very successful. Out of all of them though, the ones that went to on have amazing careers always carried a positive attitude. When work or life got difficult they still found a reason to smile. They talked about the successes instead of the failures. The harnessed the good energy and blocked out the bad. I can’t stress enough how important it is to be positive if you want success in your career. This is one of the most simple practices you can do and the rewards are endless.
