Optimists celebrate the achievements of their team. They also start meetings by summarising achievements because they know that what is discussed at the beginning is seen as the most important.
Welcome diverse opinions
A leader who is open to different opinions is directly perceived as more optimistic. Moreover, he or she really does receive better suggestions for dealing with different situations.
Think long-term
Be careful not to become too bogged down in short-term problems. Emphasise the long-term goals of the company as well as of your team.
Inspire and motivate
Optimists motivate their team by showing enthusiasm for working together and trying to make the work more fun.
Accept criticism
Be open to the opinions of others and actively seek feedback. An optimist can listen and learn.
Criticise constructively
Optimists understand that feedback is important not only for them but also for others. They criticise in a way that is helpful for their team.
