How to be an optimist and hire them too

May 6, 2010

Dear leader, entrepreneur, student and friend,
 
Here's a practice I adopted that is making 2010 a great year. I gave up negativity. That's right. I decided to be positive in my thoughts, words and deeds. I am fasting from negative news. As I work to make this a heroic habit, I've improved my awareness, caught and corrected myself and displaced the negative with positive. Every cloud has a silver lining. Problems are opportunities. Mistakes teach us something about ourselves. When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
 
My wife shared with me the Optimist Creed and I've been looking at it regularly. It starts:
Promise Yourself: To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. See full text: http://www.breakthroughbusiness.net/article_details.php?id=42
 
How to Hire More Optimists:
This is a great time to hire resilient optimists that improve your culture. When it comes to hiring positive people, selection can be tough. Candidates sometimes inflate resumes and show up on the job differently than they did in the interview. Want to consistently hire truly smart, hard working, positive people? Using validated, reliable assessment tools gives you an edge.
