It’s a common tendency to focus on the negative aspects of a situation, whether it’s at work or at home. We often try to identify what went wrong or what could go wrong, thinking that this might help us avoid similar problems in the future. However, this approach doesn’t always lead to positive change, and it can sometimes be counterproductive. Instead, it might be more effective to focus on what went well and build upon that.
When we focus on what went well, we can identify the strengths and positive aspects of a situation. This can help us feel more energized, motivated and optimistic, and create even better outcomes in the future.
If you want to create a more supportive and constructive environment, where people feel valued and encouraged to do their best, take some time to identify and celebrate your team’s strengths.
