The Force Of Optimism

"Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier." - Colin Powell

The ripple effect of a leader's enthusiasm and optimism is awesome. So is the impact of cyncism and pessimism. Leaders who whine and blame engender those same behaviors among their collegaues. I am not talking about stoically accepting organizational stupidity and a "what me worry?" smile. I am talking about a gung ho attitude that says "we can change things here, we can achieve awesome goals, we can be better."
