“The smallest change in perspective can transform a life. What tiny attitude adjustment might turn your world around?”

—Oprah Winfrey, celebrity

READY FOR A CHANGE?

The father of electricity (and insulated kite string), Benjamin Franklin once created a list of thirteen virtues to live by. It included temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity and humility

Franklin, who was constantly seeking to improve himself, would choose one of these virtues and work toward improvement in that area before selecting another. In this way he constantly bettered himself. We’d be wise to follow suit.

In what way could you polish up your recognition skills? Frequency? The presentation? The slightest change in your perspective and abilities could not only transform your experience as a manager but also charge the entire workplace environment.
