Thought Tweet #775 Why are some people so inclined to be morale busters at work? And - How might we help them get over it?
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 must be escalated to the boss or the 'team'.
Thick-skinned people can handle both sides of that approach.
Do you agree?

Thought Tweet #774 Baby action steps pave the path to unshakable self-confidence.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
We learn from our experiences. This learning grows experience by experience, piece by piece. And the more repetition of experience-pieces the stronger the learning. And, because we have gone through the learning process we know we know.
When we know we know we become confident about our abilities. The more we know we know the greater the confidence.
Simple repetition of properly-performed action steps are the key to self-confidence.
We need to imagine future situations to determine the right action steps. That's the best path.
However, if we are confused about the right action steps then we can perform the action steps we know we know...and do them with mastery. Every one of us can do that!
So, baby steps take every one of us toward unshakable self-confidence.
Self-confidence is a process. We can design it. We can control it.
We should all want to do that - self-confidence is a mindset to great value.
