- Instead of asking who did what & why identify the steps required to move from the current position to the desired one.
- Look to the future not the past, develop a vision of where you want the organization to be.
- Ignore the jibes of others who try to lay the blame by focusing on the steps required to achieve the desired outcome.
- Lead by example – people will begin to notice & copy positive behavior.
- Reward positive behavior with encouragement.
- Deal with negative behavior by ignoring it.
- Promote positive people within the organization at the expense of those who cannot change.
- Forgive those who exhibit redemption.
- Celebrate success & generate genuine teamwork.
