Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitudes and actions.”<\/span><\/em><\/strong> – Harold Geneen, Chairman, ITT Corp.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          I have never directly discussed the role of attitude in the more than 500 SOUNDManagement tips I have written. That’s because it is so painfully obvious that the phrase, “positive attitude” has almost become cliché.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>          Sitting on the plane on my way back to Lagoon City last week, I was pondering what creates my most successful clients, in an effort to replicate those successes.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>          Is it the amount of time I dedicate to them? Certain concepts, ideas or programs we initiate? Or is it systems, procedures or discipline? Do external factors, ratings or other market conditions play an over-whelming role in success or failure?
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>          I would like to tell you that I concluded it is ENS Media Inc.’s consulting and training that was the single most powerful contributor to my clients’ success, but that’s not magic the answer either.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>          I have studied enough success cases that I can state unequivocally that the single largest contributing factor to any of my clients’ successes is positive mental attitude<\/u>.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>          I have always taken pride in being a glass-half-full kind of guy, but even I was shocked to re-discover the over-powering role that attitude plays in the success of my clients.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>          All of the other things I do as a consultant, from achieving buy-in, to implementing training, and from introducing systems to having more fun on the job, only happen if my clients consistently encourage positive attitudes from their staffs.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>          I sincerely hope I have not bored you by stating this obvious and common observation, but it has made such an overwhelming contribution to my clients’ successes that I felt compelled to remind you about the power of positive thinking. (After all, who knows better than us that repetition sells!)
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>          We know about this powerful phenomenon, but in the face of increased competition, you need a plan that helps you to focus on the positives every day. I’m going to suggest that you mark four things to do in your palm-pilot or day-timer every day;
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>1. Uncover and promote a positive about your company.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>2. Uncover and utilize a positive about yourself.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>3. Uncover and promote a positive about your market. 
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>4. Uncover and promote a positive about your staff or peers.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>         Henry Ford probably said it best when he said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are right!”<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
