Staying Positive in a Negative Environment
Part 1
by Julie Fuimano

Page: 1 2

Probably one of the hardest things we must do as leaders is to stay positive when everyone else around us is negative. It's not easy to maintain a positive attitude and not be drained or consumed by the negativity that surrounds you. But as a leader, that's exactly what you must do. You have the opportunity to be the beacon of light for others around you. You can demonstrate and teach by your actions and responses how to behave in an appropriate, positive and professional manner.

It's easy to be positive in a positive environment. It's when things are emotionally draining and negative that you are challenged to step up to the plate and behave differently. By doing so, you make a difference-a positive impact that sends ripples throughout the community in which you work.

The fact is that positive energy catches on just as quickly as negative energy. Sometimes, people are simply stuck in a habit or pattern of behavior. They are accustomed to acting a certain way. If the environment is really caustic, then it's been that way for a long time. This is what people are used to; it's familiar to them and it may be all they know. In addition, by the very fact that it's been happening this way for this long and no one has done enough to change it, it's considered "acceptable" even though it's not.

It takes some time and effort on your part, as well as a commitment to do something different in order to create sustainable change. You must be willing to identify and stop tolerating what's not working, do the right thing even if it's unpopular at first, and then teach others to do the same.

Here are five things you can do to be the positive force in your workplace.

1) Observe yourself in action.

In what ways are you contributing to the negativity around you? Are you listening to gossip or participating in conversations where the only focus is to denigrate, diminish or criticize people or things? If the conversation feels bad, it's probably negative. Stop being negative! Stop saying or doing anything that is negative. It all starts with you. Language matters.

Everything you say has an impact and when you say something negative, not only does it dishonor the person you're speaking about and the person you're speaking with, it makes you feel bad even if you don't realize it. Putting someone else down is disrespectful of them and it disrespects you. Learn to respect people's humanity and their right to be themselves. Complaining without end does not focus on creating solutions; rather its impact is only to perpetuate and magnify the problem wasting everyone's precious time and energy.
