Negative Attitudes (Toxic)

• Nothing will ever get better.

• Nobody is telling me what to do.

• I will only do what’s required of me.

• It won’t work and can’t be done.

• The other department should have taken care of it.

Positive Attitudes (Encouraging)

• There is always tomorrow.

• What can I do to make this a better place?

• I appreciate the benefit of working here.

• I am willing to learn.

• I will give my best because it’s right.

If you have two or three of the negative attitudes, it’s time for a change, one way or the other. If you have two or three of the positive attitudes, your organization is benefiting from your work ethic.
