Finally someone said this in an article: "Many organizations wrongly assume that employees dealing with things like stressful commutes or worrisome family problems can simply check their emotions at the door. Most can't." It's really impossible although we may try.
Other great quotes:
"Leaders and managers, meanwhile, can do their part by creating positive transitions for their teams at the start of the workday. They might, for example, hold a quick motivational gathering with staff members each morning, or send an e-mail to each employee with a positive thought, goal or feedback." Can you imagine if this really happened, what would be the impact?
Lastly: "The manager who shows immediate frustration with an employee who arrives a few minutes late, for example, likely will exacerbate the person's bad mood, sending the employee into a negative tailspin that results in lowered productivity and compromised job performance all day." This one is true, and we often make this mistake as leaders and/or managers. When the dragon sprays, the knight slays.
For me personally, having too much negativity is like CANCER. It eats at you, takes years of your life, and limits what your potential.
