Performance begins inside the head.

It always has.

The mind is now the main productivity tool. Thinking has
become the key competency. People's thought processes
are the most important performance factor.

And this much we know . . .

People do their best work when they're in a positive frame of mind. Positive emotions and optimistic thinking lead to higher pay and better environment from supervisors.

Optimistic sales people sell more and have lower turnover than pessimists.

Doctors experiencing positive emotions more accurately diagnose patient ailments

Optimistics are more helpful, flexible, creative,respectful, empathetic towards customers.

...But do you know what happens when change hits? Do you know what goes on inside the skulls of your workforce?

When people encounter change, the first scan is for danger

The mind starts searching for trouble. This is normal human instinct.
We're just wired this eay for survival.

Problem is, people get stuck in this negative state and very quickly, performance starts to suffer.

According to a recent Gallup poll, 99% of people say they would prefer a more positive environment at work.

9 out of 10 people say they're more productive around positive people.

Some 50% to 70% of
how employees perceive their organization's climate can be traced
to the actions of one person:
the leader.

This highlights the need for Positive Leadership

Think about that...Did you know your attitude had that kind of reach? Did you realize your behavior carried that much influence?

Emotions are contagious ...Particularly the attitude of the people in charge. In fact, research shows that the leader's level of positive emotions can predict performance of the entire group. For better ...or for worse... the leader is the emotional guide.

Your first job as a leader- in fact, the very core of leadership- comes down to managing yourself.

And that's your #1 challenge in managing change.
