Lead with Positivity

I'm sure that I've posted on this in the past, but re-stating it is as much for my own benefit as anyone else's.

A team feels, follows, and operates as their Leader leads.  If you as a Leader plan and approach with the assumption of success, the team will follow and move forward with that same assumption.  If you project positivity, so will those around you.  Positivity breeds positivity, just as success breeds success.  Negativity feels "out of place" in a room of positivity, and will either transform or weed itself out.

There is a common saying that a team is only as strong as its weakest link.  I don't necessarily agree with this.  I would say that a team is only as strong as its leadership will allow it to be.

As leaders, we should work on surrounding ourselves with teammates that are better than us......then put the resources in place to exploit their strengths.  All of this is nurtured through positivity.  Your teammates will see it in your eyes, and feel it in your vibe.  You can't fake positivity, you must live it.  Your entire team will assume success as a result.
