M.A.D. business leadership

Perspectives – Things are not always how they appear!

I listened to a client complaining about one of his colleagues and when I asked him what he liked about them, what were their strengths, he was stumped … for a while. Once he had time to reflect on the question he began to come up with some powerful, positive responses which shifted his perspective of his colleague. It also changed how he chose to approach this individual and address the issue. While it might be true that his colleague could improve in certain areas, who among us doesn’t want to improve?

Whenever you’re tempted to complain or criticize another, take a moment to reflect on the positive aspects of that individual first, and then frame your complaint or criticism in the form of what they could improve or do better. You’ll become a better manager, leader and be establishing some powerful and positive habits that will serve you and those around you forever!
