Unfortunately, the human psyche can tend toward the negative.  We struggle to keep equilibrium around the good and positive, our progress and blessings.  Depending on your information inputs, the tendency can be amplified or balanced. 

Here are three simple actions leaders can take with their teams to shift their information inputs:

• Begin meetings with each person sharing a bright spot from both their professional and personal lives.
• Write an encouraging note (or email or text message) to several people each week.
• Take time to celebrate monthly, quarterly, and yearly successes as a team.

I’m sure you have some additional ideas.
