The Thinking Behind The Tweet
In part, inspired by a re-reading of Michael Gerber's 'The E-Myth Revisited'. Pick a demographic - learn its psychographics - and don't forget, we're dealing with people...not statistics.
Of course, there's a softer side and a more-important justification. Only when we understand others are we able to help them. [Without such understanding we ramble along, at best, half-helping ourselves.]

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
We can choose from 3 mental-attitude flavours: Positivity, Negativity, & Indifference.
Positivity is the best flavour...a rich flavour in many ways.
Negativity can be hard to swallow...but, at least, it gives you something to argue against.
Indifference - so bland it's not worth writing about.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
I want to create a Top 10 list of ways to help morale-busting people get over whatever it is that causes them to want to spread negativity at work. I am not talking about people who express concerns openly, in front of those who they blame for this or that. I am talking about people who do their complaining behind the backs of the people about whom they complain.
I'd like to create a list of the Top 10 Remedies for Behind-the-Back Complaints.
Any help you can provide will be appreciated...
Here's one -
- Ask people to accept an environment where others can, without risk, openly express concerns about one another directly to one another. And, if that doesn't work the concern be escalated to the boss or the 'team'.must
Thick-skinned people can handle both sides of that approach.
Do you agree?
