Wednesday LIVE with Evie #29
When something unexpected happens in your business or life, what do you tend to notice?
Several years ago I read an article that said that the problem with today’s business culture is that we focus on what’s going wrong instead of what’s going right (ironic isn’t it!).
I was still working as an Implementation Specialist at the time (being project manager, help desk, and computer programmer). And I remember thinking how my clients would be pretty dang upset if I decided to focus only on what was working – especially because a large part of my job was about focusing on what WASN’T working.
So, we talked about the difference between focusing on what’s wrong, what’s right, and what’s not working.
Leak in your roof? Loved it, you corrected and moved on…nice!
Thanks for this post today, I’ve been spending the week on the total focus of what’s wrong and not a spec of time on what’s not working or even more, what IS going well. So, again, thanks – I needed this and have a much better attitude after stopping and listening to this.
