Mauro Libi Crestani: Bad attitude, no business

Norman Vincent Peale said, " A person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around him positively and draws back to himself positive results". A positive attitude is contagious. As a leader you set the tone. Imagine, if a company has a morning huddle of its top executives with the president of the company. The president has a bad attitude. He comes in criticizing his mangers. He puts them down and tells everyone that the company will probably go under. He threatens their jobs and they do not feel happy about the company or secure. How do you think the managers will then in turn treat their employees? How do you think they will treat their customers?

The good news it that it works the other way also. It's amazing how your attitude, whether positive or negative, as a manager can set the tone among your workers and customers. Have you ever worked around someone with an unpleasant attitude? Did you like it? If you set the tone for a positive attitude, if you can make your employees feel like they are the best and can accomplish anything, they in turn will make their customers feel like they are the best and can accomplish anything. Would you want to be around such happy people, around a group of winners?

Now this is not always easy. When you have personal issues, financial issues , business concerns, in those times it is. It always easy to have a positive attitude. One of my friends who was a true business leader and ran a very successful company was always upbeat and positive. When I found out later all his family problems, I was surprised. I had no idea. I always thought he had s charmed life. He was the person who I admired and thought had a charmed life.

There is a song from a children's movie with this powerful message. " That's why you gotta never let them see you down, gotta smile while you are hurting, and whistle while you work".

So remember that you do control your attitude. Have a positive outlook and you will lift the spirits of those around you. You will find that not only will you be successful but those around you will thrive under your leadership.
