Talk at Work - Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - 3/22/12

[Guest guest]

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - 3/22/12 - "Talk at Work" I'd like to give you something to think about over the weekend, but I need you to get this information so you can be aware of your surroundings tomorrow. What's the talk like where you work? Do people put each other up or do they run each other down? You know, the way we talk to ourselves and to each other has a powerful effect on what we are able to accomplish. In organizations where the talk is negative, where people gossip about each other and take every opportunity to complain

and gripe about problems, and where people take a perverse kind of pride in shooting down each other's ideas, productivity suffers enormously. But productivity isn't the only thing that suffers. It feels just plain awful to work in an environment like this, doesn't it? And it takes a tremendous toll on your energy and even on your health in the long run. But in highly successful organizations, it's a different story. If you walk around these companies, you will see innovation, risk-taking, and creativity everywhere you look. You will see people who feel personally accountable for the success of their co-workers as well as their own success. You will see people who feel like they are on the same team working toward a common goal, and you'll hear it in the way they talk to each other. Players on a winning team help each other, respect each other, and build each other up. And, their talk focuses not on problems, but on solutions.

What's the talk like where you work? If it's often negative, what could you do to change it?
