Introduction Think for a moment, when was last time media used their 30-minute broadcast time to bring the Americans positive uplifting news? Surprisingly, you did not miss the special broadcast because they have not. Just as with each individual there is way too much negativity occurring in our daily live and around us, we are being consumed with negativity. People are so lost in negativity and distractions, many never greet another coworker or even provide a simple thank you when someone holds the door open for them. Additionally, individuals appear to be more about themselves and the things that make them happy. Whether it is in a social environment or work environment, people’s emotions and demeanor can affect everyone else and …show more content…
Just as the common cold spreads throughout the office, so can positive intelligence; by starting with one’s self, and think positive, speak positive, and act positive can lead to others becoming happy. Leading by example is the best and fastest way to make changes in those we have influence over and greet everyone when you come in contact with them and remember to say thank you more often.
Importance of Positive Intelligence When defining positive intelligence, we are looking at the individual’s competence, knowledge, and understanding. Now, there needs to be a balance, just as with anything, too much can be dangerous. Those who display positive intelligence and do not confuse with narcissism have a positive influence on others and are able to achieve more than those who display negativity. Those who are cheerful, outgoing, and knowledgeable in their job and overall well rounded is the person everyone likes

One simple and easy way, which does not cost, is to express gratitude to the employees for the work they do. An employee’s attitude toward a superior, and the organization is evident in their work. Most people are not looking for bonuses in their checks, or a promotion; however, they people do deserve recognition. A simple thank you, or pay a compliment to a person, or even some small kind of gesture to remind them management does notice their hard work and is grateful. Another is through networking events where everyone can get together for maybe 30 minutes a week or even a monthly luncheon. This allow everyone to decompress and share their experiences or knowledge with other coworkers and offer to help out one another. Ultimately, Cote & Miners (2006) remind us to be genuine with our emotional intelligence and by doing so will open up better communication with others, than those who are deceiving and want to make others think they
When given the opportunity to do a task, the first step to ensure a desired outcome is to provide a positive attitude. A person’s attitude is capable of influencing not only one’s own performance, but also the actions of others being affected. For my Health Services Academy classes, we were recently assigned to do a project in which we had to diagnose a case study and develop an innovative treatment plan. As my group’s presentation approached, there was a specific day when all of my group members were feeling under extreme pressure and behaving in ways that they usually wouldn't. Despite my personal feelings, I managed to reassure my classmates and stay positive; consequently, everyone else’s moods seemed to improve as well. As an intern, I’d practice that same skill and contribute to a welcoming and

I hope this message finds you well. This is the information you requested regarding Cher Mai attending the Chaminade High School events on October 21, 2016.
Through visiting employees in their departments and thank you notes, the leader builds what Studer terms the “emotional bank account,” this is important to note in the first phase. He continues by instructing leaders to “reward and recognize.” This is fulfilled by simply making certain that employees have the tools and data they need to complete their job efficiently. Simply take away the misconceptions that serve only to separate leadership from staff. Ensure that senior leadership is available and is viewed demonstrating the proper behaviors for the organizational culture.
We live in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world and practice our profession in an era of unprecedented technological capability. In cardiovascular medicine, we can diagnose and treat heart disease with innovative approaches unimaginable to the previous generation of physicians. However, as a wealthy nation with a technologically advanced health care system, history will judge us not by our scientific progress, but by how we treat the weakest and most vulnerable amongst us. By this critical measure of
Whenever someone else makes an accomplishment, small or large, they deserve all respect and recognition for their hard work. I constantly work to build others up and ensure that their efforts do not go unnoticed. John C. Maxwell, author of The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, notes that “If you are a leader, you should never forget that everyone needs encouragement. And everyone who receives it - young or old, successful or less-than-successful, unknown or famous - is changed by it.” As humans we are driven by the recognition of others, and I recognize the value of encouragement. By building others up, I have the power to assist others in their development as
I also feel employee acknowledgement is very essential it will lead to better employee morale. Moreover, Having a monthly recognition luncheon or dinner for employees that meet certain goals would be helpful. In addition, it possibly will motivate employees that weren’t hitting certain requirements.
Before doing this project I did not understand how it related to what we were learning in class. Honestly I never put much thought into how putting uplifting notes in a public place would affect the people who read them. But then I realized that when someone says something uplifting to me that it makes me feel good. That is what happened when I posted uplifting notes at my dad’s fire station.
Leading could utilize Brian’s healthy dose of the humanistic-encouraging style. However, leading cannot be accomplished by encouragement and kind words alone. Thus, the affiliative style helps with the relationship aspect of leading, and achievement produces leadership by example.
According to Paul Carey, “You can take the worst person in the organization and find ways to engage or excite them to make them a better employee and after you do this across the entire organization you entire organization will go up” (P. Carey, personal communication, March 24, 2017). This shows that leaders have the power to improve their followers and transform them into confident people. As a leader, if you do not perform well and help your employees strive to be the best your organization will have issues and employee’s attitudes will be negative. Even if you do not have a leadership title there are ways to have people follow your lead but you can’t be fake. As you take each employee and discuss with them the goals and objective on each
Another vastly used concept in management theory and practice i.e. the positive psychology pursues organisational virtues and social responsibility. Positive psychology is applied in contemporary management to facilitate social relation between a leader and his subordinates to develop a sense of security and create positive emotional states of the individuals. With smaller sized team and more freedom in work,Google Inc. keeps the employees working towards a set purpose besides instilling high levels of self- motivation and work empowerment within them. Google Inc. focuses on noble tasks and convince their employees of their significance in bringing changes and peace to the world by organising the world’s information and making life better for individuals and the society(Cook 2012).Hence,it can be observed that through positive psychology,high employee satisfaction and achievement can be gained through self-motivation,self-improvement and self-inspiration by incorporating passion in their work and align them with the organization’s own’s values.This in turns improves the company’s productivity and innovation ability which will then elevate the corporation’s social and economic status.
One of the things I found most interesting about the Interpreter of Maladies was the perspective it took on the whole situation. While there was a narrator who was outside the story, the progression of the story followed Mr. Kapasi’s view more than any other character. Even the paragraphs that described him, which increased in numbers as the story progressed, were self-aware and increasingly self-conscious. Mr. Kapasi seemed to be a very reliable narrator and a very observant narrator though he is not the narrator at all. He not only described exactly how the Das family looked and acted but also the logical conclusions that can be drawn, and were drawn by Mr. Kapasi, regarding those actions. For example, after describing for almost two pages the apathy with which the parents viewed their children, he concluded that they seemed more like older siblings than parents.
The media doesn’t help change the focus to positivity, but it does portray the general focus of the country. Out of the top 10 stories on Yahoo News in the US category on December 12th, every title gave off a negative impression. Although some of the content of the articles isn’t completely negative, the titles don’t radiate happiness or promote positivity let alone neutrality. The topics were centered around abortion, human conflict, crime, hate crime, and child death. These titles that are supposed to capture the attention of American citizens work through pain and hate.
The issue: We’re eating the planet. All of us - and not in the fun, culinary sense of exploring international cuisine. The amount of food Americans eat exceeds the amount they actually need. Our food choices are high in calories, high in fat, high in sugar, high in resource and energy input, high in everything. The average American eats 258 lbs. of meat every year. That’s roughly 1/10 of a cow, half a pig, one turkey, and 26 chickens. Maybe this doesn’t sound that much to you – but it is 30 times more meat than the average Indian consumes yearly.
The psychology of leadership, described in Leaders Eat Last, involves maintaining a positive environment for those being lead. The environment for subordinates should be a place of encouragement. Making the workplace environment a place of encouragement allows others in the organization feel valuable and urges them to do more for the organization. This
