“Great minds have purpose, others have wishes.” – Washington Irving
Chicken on the Roof
One day a State Trooper was pulling off an expressway near Chicago. When he turned onto the street at the end of the ramp, he noticed someone at a chicken place getting into his car. The driver placed the bucket of chicken on top of his car, got in and drove off with the bucket still on top of his car.
So the trooper decided to pull him over and perform a community service by giving the driver his chicken. So he pulled him over, walked up to the car, pulled the bucket off the roof and offered it to the driver. The driver looked at the trooper and said, “No thanks, I just bought some.”
Attitudes are Highly Contagious
“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.”
