“Attitudes are highly contagious within a team structure. Because they can serve as self-fulfilling prophecies, they have the power to destroy a team or accelerate it to great heights. That’s why there’s no place for a bad attitude. Each team member is responsible to one another for staying upbeat and positive. When everyone embraces this thinking, the entire team radiates with positive energy.  A ‘can’t do’ attitude does just the opposite. It drains energy and poisons the team. In addition to setting the standard, leaders must know the pulse of the team and ensure positive attitudes prevail from top to bottom. When people focus on what can be done rather than what can’t, they align to create a positive team environment fueled by sustainable momentum. We can’t choose many of the challenges we face in this life, but we can choose how we address them.”
