Importance of Positive Energy at Workplace?

Everything is energy. Energy is powerful enough to create our success or promote our demise. Everything we involve ourselves in is a result of the energy we contribute.  How we contribute to our professional environment is as important as what we contribute.  We may have the experience, knowledge, skill, and a long history of success; however, if we approach a person with infected/negative energy, we should also be prepared to take responsibility for the consequences.

Sometimes it is easy to see how others affect us, but many times we may not even realize the effect others are having on us. Creating an awareness of how situations or people make us feel can help correct or deflect this negative energy. 

As a leader, our energy can determine the success of a meeting, a workday or even our overall company.  If we have an employee or co-worker who is struggling, have we considered how much responsibility we have in his performance?

If we have chosen the privilege and responsibility to supervise others, how are we dealing with our negative employees?  Negativity is contagious.  It may seem as if dealing with negative people is easier to simply ignore them.  However, it’s important to remember that many people are not aware of how negative energy is affecting them.  Therefore, our negative employees may be consciously or sub-consciously expanding their negativity and influencing the behavior of others.

As a team leader we need to Wake up!  Look in the mirror.  What are we contributing to our personal and professional life?  How do we protect those we are responsible for, as well as our overall organization, to ensure they have the positive, working environment they deserve?
