KEEP YOUR OPTIMISM IN HIGH-TECH TURBULENT TIMES🚀

It's no secret that the high-tech industry is in a state of flux.

Rapid changes in technology, global competition, and shifting customer demands are putting pressure on companies to innovate or die. This uncertain environment can be overwhelming for even the most experienced leaders.

But there's one leadership trait that can help you survive any storm: OPTIMISM.

Why Executive Teams Need a Shot of Optimism

Optimism is a mindset, skill and choice that can make the difference between thriving and merely surviving.

Optimistic teams are able to overcome challenges together. Teams that are optimistic help each other move forward by seeing solutions where others may only see problems.

A positive attitude is contagious! ♾

When you want your team to stick together during tough times, you need to encourage them to get excited about their work instead of feeling defeated by it-especially if things haven't been going well for awhile.

As a leader, it's very easy to lose sight of what is most important😏. You may get so caught up in managing change that you forget to take a step back and look at the bigger picture: What does our company stand for? What are we trying to accomplish? What can we do to support our employees?

Leaders wish to be creative, optimistic, and flexible enough to adapt to changing conditions. They need patience when dealing with uncertainty; sometimes there just isn't an answer yet.

This kind of leadership takes energy, and energy comes from optimism.

Winston Churchill once said: “Optimism is good sense raised to its highest power.”

When you see a challenge as an opportunity to learn, or when you recognize this as a chance for your team to grow and develop, then your positive attitude will help them see it that way, too.

If a situation isn't going quite as well as planned, look for the silver lining - what did you learn from this?

What can we do better next time?

Optimism helps teams through tough times🚧

Optimism is a learned skill that can be applied to your daily life. It's no secret that optimists tend to be more successful than pessimists, so if you want to reach the top of your field and become an influential figure in technology, you need optimism.

To help you be more optimistic, here are some tips:

# If something doesn't go as planned, ask yourself, "What is working?" rather than focusing on what went wrong and what could have been done to prevent it.

# Be around positive energized people and stay away from energy vampires.

# Check out TED Talks and positive psychology books.

# Make a habit of being optimistic by looking for the good in other people and situations around you.

The reality is knocking at the door these days.

It is not the time to play it safe.

Now is the time to think big, embrace change, and strive for excellence.
