I was working with a leadership team last week, and after hours of exercises and reflection, they were preparing to declare their personal commitment to the team.
They asked for examples and I said, "The commitment I make everywhere I go and whatever I'm doing is to spread joy." I believe that a positive attitude is revolutionary. Cynicism of other people and institutions is rampant, and it's not an effective way to build community and connection.
It's easy:
- Say a kind thing to every service worker, all day
- Openly appreciate your family
- Express gratitude to your colleagues
- Compliment people
The easiest words ever:
- Thank you
- I am grateful for....
- It's great that you....
- That project was tough and you knocked it out of the park.
As JFK said, "A rising tide, lifts all boats." What commitment do you make to raise the tide?
