OVER 75% of all employees are unhappy in their current job, according to current research. It all starts with attitude! A positive attitude is a priceless possession for personal fulfillment and career success.
It is also an essential element for creating a positive workplace. Nowhere is your positive attitude more appreciated by others than when you are at work. A positive workplace is about the people and their positive outlook about their work and the organisation that make the business thrive.
A company gets its edge from the attitude of its people, including the leaders, supervisors, front-line, back-office, entry-level and long-term employees. Employees want to feel valued and appreciated and will most likely be more engaged and stay with an organisation, as a result.
The higher the engagement levels, the more their attitude barometer rises. The higher the attitude barometer rises, the more business results improve. Nothing contributes more to the process of building effective work relationships than a positive attitude.
More business successes are won on attitude than technical achievement. A supervisor, who demonstrates and knows how to build a positive attitude can lead a departmental workforce with only average experience and skills to achieve high productivity and successful performance.
It is called teamwork and happens often! The person with a positive attitude is better placed to forge ahead, more likely to accept responsibility for their mistakes and less likely to be looking for accolades. He is also more likely to share the praise for a job well done with co-workers.
It is important to remember that we have one life and all have a choice to be either positive or negative in any situation. We make these choices every day.
By keeping our power and being aware of our own attitude and choices, we can protect ourselves from external circumstances and people's negativity.
Safeguard your attitude by solving personal conflicts quickly, taking the "high road" if someone behaves unreasonably or unfairly, insulating or distancing yourself from a person with whom you have a repeated conflict, focusing on the work and changing your traffic pattern to avoid people who pull your attitude down.
Be good to yourself, enjoy the ride and make a Positive Impact on your career and workplace with a positive attitude!
