Get Up, Get On Up (And Stay Up)
Work can throw you some mean mental curveballs. Maybe you lose an important sale. Maybe your signature super bowl commercial completely flops. Maybe you spill your chicken dumpling soup on a stack of books supposed to ship to 20 inBubbleWinners. Maybe your new product offering, virtual potato pancakes, is a dud. There are so many ways your company gets kicked while it is down, and as workers, we constantly face disappointment and failure. Some might say, "Whatever whineypants, get over it." To which we want to respond, "You are a jerky-shirt, so leave me alone you fubble jummy." But we can't respond like that. Why? Because we really do need to get over it. Another sale is on the horizon and we need to be ready for it.
One of the most difficult tasks for any organization is creating a culture of optimism, especially when staring at failure. But it must be done. We must remain positive in order to create, serve, produce, sell, market, account, or lead. If only there was a book that told us how to create such a culture. What? There is? Oh my sweet Betsy BoonDoggle!!! And you say it's called, "Hard Optimism?" Perfect!
The guy is Price Pritchett. His thing is corporate culture and organizational change. He's been at it for more than 30 years. The guy knows how to shape management perspectives. And now he has put all his skillz into wordz, on paper, bound by cloth.
There are simply so many ways that a culture of optimism within an organization can create advantages. It helps leaders prepare for change before it happens. It helps employees at all levels overcome mistakes. It helps people take advantage of every possible opportunity available. It helps problem-solve. It helps sustain energy. Optimism is a company's best friend. But again, it's not easy to create an overall culture of optimism. Which is why, instead of trying to figure it out yourself, you should just read Price's book.
Not only does dude have serious experience, Price also draws on the newest research from the most excellent and influential field of positive psychology. Yeah, that's right, experience backed by scientific research, it's all the rage. It's a combination any well-intentioned change-agent should implore. Especially when dealing with the issue of positive thinking. You just can't sugarcoat. Negative Nelly needs to get her head out of the angry hole. Whiney Winnie needs to learn how to move on. Bossy McBossALot needs to be able to walk around, look everyone in the eyes, and instill confidence in the office. It's crucial.
Ideas, experiments, sales, efforts, launches...they all can easily die if you don't have resilience and positive mentality. So do yourself a favor, make yourself and your organization stronger. Read what Mr. Price Pritchett has to say.
