Great leaders are solution-thinkers. They certainly aren’t whiners. People who wallow in the quagmires of problem-complaining are not choosing to provide positive examples of resolution, even though they may be leading.
How do you face problems on your team? Are you setting a model of winning or whining?
Chapter 2 of Industrial Strength Solutions (www.Industrial-Strength-Solutions.com) is titled, “Winning vs. Whining.” There are big differences between these two attributes. Winning happens when attitudes seek solutions instead of complaining. Whining disappears when a team refuses to give obsessive attention to negatives over positives.
Four solution-thinking decisions accompany winners. These are:
1. Turn habits of complaining into habitats of construction.
This is hard decision-making from committed people.
2. Replace negative attitudes with positive solution-foused
outlooks. Decide an act on what you want, not what you
don’t want.
3. Re-direct an ego-centered focus to concentrating on benefiting
others. It is difficult to complain when offering assistance
from a pure motive.
4. Confront problems with positive planning and action steps.
Planning for better results and the actions that prove
dedication go along way in resolving problems.
Win, don’t whine. Your followers will respond to this kind of great leadership.
