All it takes is one…. One negative Nancy to bring us all down.  Sorry, Nancy, I mean no disrespect. Is it the Titanic or your workplace that’s sinking, talk about the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

The question is how do you handle this situation and are you working to fix the underlying issues or are you actively  part of the problem.  Many  leaders in business put their blinders on and only look one direction instead of looking at the issues and difficulties facing their employees which in turn impact the success of the business goals.

If I ignore the issue or focus soehwere else it will go away eventually, thats the hope, but this rarely ever happens,  Instead the issues continue to fester, your negative employee  infects others  in the workplace and the poison spreads and spreads.  This impacts morale, productivity and the trust your employees have placed in you to run a successful business.

Stay tuned for ways to address worplace negativity and deal with the poison that could be affecting your organization.

Does it seem hard to find and keep good people? What does your business presence and style say about you? Being a good manager and a good leader are not the same thing. Managing is about “the what”; the things and processes. Leading is about “the why”; the people and their motivations. The goal is to help business owners, business leaders, and their people how to be productive and also find the right motivations.

What kind of leader are you, do you even know? Have you tried to find out? Do you direct with authority? Do you try to get everyone on your side? What drives your success, if anything, are you successful at leading?

I can tell you this… If you haven’t even taken the time to find out what kind of leader you are, chances are you also don’t know what your employees need and desire. Chances are you continue to use the same leadership style over and over and over and it may even work most of the time. But it’s likely to be a disaster when it doesn’t work or a morale destroyer at best, making your employees unproductive, less motivated and possibly even bitter.

Tune in here to experience a variety of different and positive ways to make an impact on your team and business by being a better leader, a better person and most of all a successful motivator.
