Not changing the oil in your car is a bad idea. The engine will start running too hot and inefficiently, and parts will begin to warp and wear out. Eventually, the engine will get too stressed, shut down completely, and need to be replaced.
Running an office with a negative management style has a similar impact on people. Leading people with a positive outlook is like running an efficient engine with regular oil changes.
Negative managers and cultures cause people to be less efficient, stressed, eventually leading to burnout and turnover.
A positive leader helps create better working relationships among employees, motivates people to do their best work, improves customer service, and increases discretionary effort within the 9 to 5 workday. Another reason positive leadership is important; it’s good for personal and family lives.
You can choose to be negative and become a drain on your workplace and community. Or, you can live a positive life and take responsibility for your people at work.
I’m talking about a genuine, caring and positive outlook. Faking it doesn’t work.
Positive work environments outperform their competition. A positive work environment equals positive financial results.
Regularly change your oil at work.
