If you’re feeling like things are getting more negative each day, the sad fact is you’re not alone.

From our social media feeds to news outlets, we’re exposed to unprecedented levels of negativity that are impacting not only our mental health, but fuelling a rising tide of divisiveness that is fracturing our social and political norms.

So what can be done about this? How do we replace this growing tide of negativity with a grounded-in-reality positivity that drives success and fuels collective growth?

According to my guest in this episode, the key is to take control over how we see the world by focusing on what’s going well and where we can have a meaningful impact.

Anthony Iannarino is a best-selling author and sales leader with over 20 years’ experience selling and leading sales forces in the staffing industry.

In this episode, I speak with Anthony about his new book “The Negativity Fast – Proven Techniques to Increase Positivity, Reduce Fear, and Boost Success” and how we can change our mental outlook so we can engender more positivity, gratitude, and a compelling vision for what we can achieve in the months and years ahead.

It’s a fascinating conversation covering the latest findings from neuroscience and psychology, along with some intriguing advice like the best way to overcome negativity is to become a hydra (yeah, you’ll have to listen to this episode to understand what that’s all about).

One of the biggest challenges – and at times, headaches – you’ll have as a leader is having to deal with an employee who’s under-performing.

Of course, it’s not just leaders – we’ve all had experience working on teams where there was one person who wasn’t doing their part to help carry the team’s load.

As employees, it’s easy for us to be annoyed and frustrated with these colleagues of ours. But as a leader, it’s your responsibility to help struggling employees to improve their performance.

But with so many demands and tasks on their plate, how can leaders address the problems one struggling employee creates for their team?

In this latest instalment in my Leadership Espresso Shot series, I share lessons inspired from work I did to revive a rose plant in my garden that reveal how you can help a struggling employee improve their performance to once again become a valued member of their team.
