Speak positively about each other & about your organization at every opportunity

9. WHAT DEVASTATES TEAMS???? Negativity devastates teams
An individual’s negative outlook has the biggest and most devastating impact on the rest of the team.
Teams feed off of the energy and emotions of the rest of the team. As a result, even a single negative attitude will eventually spill over and impact others members of the team.
And though the attitudes of other team members may not spoil entirely, the negativity has begun to spread – and left alone it will continue to do so, eventually infecting the team as a whole. Negativity is a self-fulfilling prophecy and a team with a negative outlook is condemned to failure.
Team members with a negative attitude are thieves, robbing the team of its potential, its moral, and often its success.

10. THOUGHTS FOR A LEADER
Accept the fact that you are a leader and you should act like one. This is not a time for coyness or false modesty. You have accepted a job as a leader-so be a good one.
Be confident.
Learn all you can about your job and what is expected of you. There is a leadership style. Every person has his own. Don’t try and copy someone else; after all, it should reflect your personal goals… your values on ethics, morality, and what you ultimately want to achieve.
Know your strengths and weaknesses. Improve on your weaknesses. But above all, recognize your strength with no false modesty to mask them. That can be a fatal flaw. Learn to decide. A leader is expected to ACT. To lead. To make decisions. To react to problems. To solve them as well. And to admit when he or she doesn’t have the answers.
A sense of humour will carry you a long way. So will common sense! Be professional; in action, speech, and in the way you perform.
Dave Schlothauer

11. LEADERSHIP QUOTES
You’re critics are often the ones telling you they still care and want to make you better”
“No matter how bad things are you can always make things worse. At the same time it is often within your power to make them better.”
“Complaining doesn’t work as a strategy, it wastes time and it won’t make you happier.”
“Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.”

12. “Failure is important and essential”
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
“Tell the truth.” “People lie for lots of reasons, often because it seems like a way to get what they want with less effort. It’s ineffective in the long-term.”
“A bad apology is worse than no apology.”
“Just because you’re in the driver’s seat doesn’t mean you have to run people over.”
