Title: Everything You Need to Know About Handling Negativity in the Workplace
Description: Is the glass half empty or is it half full? How do you view the situation and opportunities around you? Do you tend to see yourself as a pessimist or an optimist? And, just as importantly, are you able to gauge where your co-workers fit into these categories or labels? Sure, we all are bound to have the occasional bad day. Traffic is a mess, you oversleep, the kids are sick, etc. But do you take control of your negative attitude prior to walking in the door at work or do you let it impact your behavior, how you treat others, and how others perceive you? Something to keep in mind is that there will always be cultural differences in every workplace. Despite what some might think, these differences do not depend on the size of the company. The key for you is to recognize two things: you are in control of your own negativity and you may be able to help others with their own negative attitudes. This book will discuss the main causes of negative attitudes and will further identify any negative tendencies you might be exhibiting. Additionally, we will analyze the four different types of'Negaholics'and how you can learn to cope with each type. Finally, we will conclude by discussing how you can overcome your own negative behaviors, as well as what happens to teams (at work) when negativity appears.
