Our attitude determines our altitude

Someone from my senior management said this,

"There have always been crises and there always will be. Every crisis offers new insights and teaches us lessons."

Wow! how true is that? In life, problems are inevitable. But it is not the problem that matters, but how we react to it. Are we going to give up, or instead are we going to face it..learn from it...and breakthrough!

So when asked again, about how do you manage such a large company and made it seems like it isn't that difficult...especially in times like this.Is it really that simple?

He said,

"When giving presentations to senior managers I point out that in books on management everyone acts as though managing is something mysterious and incredibly difficult. I tell them I totally disagree. My basic management concept has always been: A is where you are now, and B is where you want to be. So you have to do two things. First, you have to be able to explain to everybody in two or three minutes why you want to get to position B. Then, when you've described B, you ask yourself: what will everyone do to get to B from Monday morning onwards?"

So friends, where do you want to get by the end of the year....your point B. Do you have an action plan on how to get there? Or do you let your problems & circumstances deviate where you want to be in this year.

Lets, start our year right...its still early. No matter what problems we face...I know we can pull through and breakthrough...if we continue to believe, be strong...and with have the right ATTITUDE!
