Having an Olympic attitude in the corporate arena
Recommendations (2)
Having an Olympic attitude at work starts with taking responsibility for your own performance. That means that you don’t make excuses or blame others for what you do or for the Results you get and that while the outcome of your efforts is really, really important, you recognise that input delivers those Results, and so you focus on those, and you include your attitude as one of those inputs. Thinking like this means that you don’t “have a bad day” but you “do a bad day”.
