Share Your Commitment and Attitude With Others!

You may not realize it, but you DO have an influence on people you work with. What you do (or don’t do) becomes part of the environment your team operates within and everyone is affected by it. And when it comes to influencing others you have a choice — you can be a positive influence OR a not-so-positive one. The smart thing to do is make the positive choice — and share your best practices for building commitment and positive attitudes in ways that help others build theirs as well.


Why should you? Because, first and foremost, it’s the right thing to do! We all share in the responsibility to contribute to a positive and productive environment. That’s a big key to organizational success — and therefore to your success. But you also collect other dividends. It’s a much better experience for you to work at a place where people live up to their promises and work together enthusiastically. Plus, you’ll find that helping other people is a good way to maintain your commitment and positive attitude — making you feel better while doing your job. So, start sharing now!

• “Got Attitude?” Display your positive attitude right on your face! Smile…look alert…hold yourself erect…walk confidently into your work and share your good attitude with your team members.

• Encourage others by passing along examples of specific actions team members have taken to meet commitments while demonstrating positive attitudes. This kind of good news helps all team members know what to do that is RIGHT.

• Celebrate small successes — yours and others. Add them up and they become the BIG success. When your team completes a step toward meeting a commitment, make a public announcement about it.
