In each moment of our lives, we are faced with a choice: to view the world through a lens of positivity or negativity. It is all too easy to succumb to negative thoughts, especially in difficult times, but the truth is that the quality of our lives is determined by the quality of our thoughts. When we choose positivity, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities and opportunities. We begin to see the good in others and in ourselves, and we become more resilient in the face of adversity. It is not always easy, but the simple act of choosing positivity can transform our lives in ways we never thought possible. So let us make that choice each and every day, and watch as our lives become filled with joy, abundance, and fulfillment.

Most culture change efforts stumble at the first hurdle: resistance. But resistance isn’t the enemy—it’s a signal, and understanding it is key to success. From Amazon best seller, 'Better Culture, Faster': I don’t know: If people don’t know what, why, or how—communicate early, clearly, and often. I don’t agree: If people disagree with your approach—listen. Really listen. They might be right. I don’t believe: If people don’t believe in the change—dig deeper. What’s driving their resistance? When resistance is embraced, it can transform detractors into advocates. Don’t just solve problems—gain allies. 📖 Better Culture, Faster is available now: https://lnkd.in/eKx6KTpf How has resistance shaped change in your organization? Let’s discuss. #CultureChange #Leadership #ChangeManagement

You can summarize this course with the 10th Amazon Leadership principle: Frugality. Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, and invention. There are no extra points for growing headcount, budget size, or fixed expense.
