1.the impact of attitude: many times the difference between success and failure is having the right mental attitude. Dr. Maxwell recalls a basketball team that he was on that had the potential to make the state finals. The team had great talent and even greater potential but was stopped short because of attitude. The attitude of the team kept them from reaching their potential and made them have a mediocre season when they could have gone much farther. Attitude makes an incredible difference in the lives of leaders because it shapes their leadership and influences those around them. Dr Maxwell makes the following observations about the impact of attitude on teams. Great talent plus rotten attitudes equals a bad team. Great talent plus good attitudes equals a great team. (p. 5) The reality is that personal potential will never rise above personal attitude. Attitude does so much for people that allows them to either succeed or fail in life. There are many people with a positive attitude that have not reached high levels of success but there are extremely few people who have bad attitudes that reach any level of success. Attitude will always place a cap on personal potential. How people start a specific task often determines the outcome more than anything else. Beginning a task with a positive attitude will help the work be accomplished. Starting a task with a poor attitude almost always results in failure.
I’m a huge fan of The Nutcracker Ballet with Baryshnikov.. Always secretly wanted to dance ballet… but I don’t have time to learn that kinda grace. After all, I spit on stages for a living!
