This is TheSchoolHouse302 monthly #review&reflect, wrapping up our focus on positivity.
What skills do I need to master to be more positive to lead better and grow faster
Review: This month’s focus on positivity was anchored by a simple strategy we use titled RAP: Routine Acts of Positivity. In order to develop a positive culture that recognizes the work of those you lead to soar to greater heights, you have to embrace four critical musts: 1. Lift Others; 2. Appreciate Others; 3. Celebrate Others; 4. Inspire others. For a better understanding of how to incorporate RAP into your daily routine as a leader, read more here.
Reflect: Being positive requires a conscientious desire to recognize others and celebrate the great work being done each day. As Jon Gordon reminds us, “It is the culture you create that is going to determine whether your players perform and execute.”
