Positivity is the Competitive Advantage

People roll their eyes when they hear someone talk about positivity. I want to assure them that there is nothing wrong in being a Pollyanna. Positivity is really about optimism, grit, mental toughness and energy that delivers the desired results. Positivity doesn’t ignore reality. It maintains optimism and belief in order to create a better reality.

Positivity attracts great people to your team and organization and helps you build a great culture. It is the glue that fosters essential relationships and connections and helps you overcome the negativity that sabotages your vision and mission.

How you see the world determines the world you see. A positive perspective causes you to see the world in a positive light which helps you see the good that is happening right now and create positive possibilities tomorrow. 

A positive mindset nourishes your mind and brain with positive thoughts and beliefs that maximize your ability and potential. I’ve never heard anyone say that someone needs to be more negative in order to get better.  Most of us need more positivity because we must constantly battle life’s challenges. 

A positive leader is a better leader. A Positive Leader sees a positive future and is able to rally their team to create it. With a positive mindset, a positive leader is able to encourage themselves and their team through challenges and change and develop relationships that lead to enhanced engagement and performance. 

When talking about Positive Leadership, we must recognize that positive leaders build great cultures that lead to sustained success. Great cultures don’t happen by accident. They are created by leaders who live and share core values, implement success principles, attract and hire people who bring the principles and values to life and reinforce their culture.

Speaking of results, no one creates success alone. We all need a team to be successful and positivity is essential to building a strong team. Teams that stays positive through adversity together grow stronger and succeed together. Negative teams divide, crumble and fall part. Positive teams unite, connect, commit and get stronger together. 

Positivity isn’t the only ingredient for success, but it’s the key ingredient that makes you and everything you do and everyone around you better. Positivity is the difference and it is the key to you making a greater difference. It is the advantage you need now.
