“How
do I turn around a victim without me appearing to be that annoying ‘positive
thinker’?”
“You don’t have to come off as an annoying
positive thinker to be a true leader. Just be realistic, honest, and upbeat.
Focus on opportunities and possibilities. Focus on the true and realistic
upside. Don’t gossip or run down other people. There is no reliable trick that
always works, but in our experience, when you are a really strong example of
ownership, and you clearly acknowledge it and reward it and notice it in other
people, it gets harder and harder for people to play victim in that setting. Remember
that being a victim is essentially a racket. It is a manipulation. You don’t
have to pretend that it’s a valid point of view intellectually, because it is
not.”
