It's easy to focus on what's not working. We all do it. And often it makes sense to ask the questions 'What went wrong? What will we do next time to avoid that mistake?
But when 'what's not working' becomes the lens through which we view the world, it can lead the organization into a downward spiral of negative thinking, blame, and territorial and obstructive behaviour.
When we focus on the what's working and what's possible, a new world opens to us. We get energized, inspired and collaborative. Ideas abound, morale soars and productivity, creativity and risk-taking return.
Question for the Week
Choose a problem that you're faced with this week. Now turn it inside out. What does it look like when it's framed as a positive? Can you see possibilities that could move you forward? Invite others to explore possibilities. How did they respond?
