Show Highlights:
You don’t have to be an extrovert to be a positive leader. @jongordon11
Positive leadership says “I believe in a better future.” @jongordon11
If you’re complaining you’re not leading. @jongordon11
Complainers and pessimists focus on problems, positive leaders focus on solutions. @jongordon11
Complaining is not a plan. @jongordon11
Positive leaders find a way forward. @jongordon11
Realism is the analytics tool for justifying complaining. @rory_vaden
Optimism isn’t saying the dream will come true, it’s finding how to move in that direction. @rory_vaden
Relentless optimism and hard work will bring your dream to fruition. @jongordon11
We confront the reality that exists but we don’t dwell on it. @jongordon11
It’s dangerous to be a realist. @jongordon11
People don’t need help being “more realistic.” @rory_vaden
You cannot be complaining and leading at the same time. @rory_vaden
Optimism is looking for a way not an excuse. @rory_vaden
Realism is an excuse dressed up as intellectualism. @rory_vaden
Being positive doesn’t mean you’ll succeed, but being negative will guarantee you won’t. @jongordon11
Positive leadership is demanding, but not demeaning. @rory_vaden
You can provide any level of accountability as long as you're providing a higher level of love. @rory_vaden
