Spirit is the atmosphere and attitude of a place or situation that influences effort and attitude in its people.
Throughout this past year, there has been a common thread in Sam’s speeches, and that is to revive a positive spirit in the workplace. What does that mean? It means that things have been tough for the past few years and people have been asked to take on additional responsibilities and do more with less. It also means that there has and continues to be uncertainty and changes. The fear, doubt, and pressure of the unexpected still looms, and it seems everyone is in it for themselves. As a result, teamwork and communication have dipped drastically. Efforts may lack “real” enthusiasm and “caring” excellence. The bottom line is, if you want to improve the bottom line, you have to revive in spirit the workplace.
Reviving spirit in the workplace is about creating awareness that excellence still matters. Teamwork still works. Positive communication is a must. And profit, productivity, and performance depend on attitude and effort now more than ever.
The spirit in the workplace can often turn negative when others are impacted by decisions and issues that are out of their control. This might include: corporate downsizing, understaffing, budget reductions, or upper-management decisions that adversely impact employees.
So What is the Value of Reviving Spirit in the Workplace?
The Value of Sam’s Message:
• Improves Employee Engagement and Communication
•Recharges Attitudes and Detoxes the Negative Thinking and Behaviors that disrupt performance
• Motivates people to expand their efforts by stepping up, serving others, and being a team player
• Unleashes the leader within. Leadership is not a position; it is attitude mixed with action.
