Many leaders believe they project the positivity and optimism that inspires those around them. But even as they maintain the discipline to see the opportunity in challenges and to frame issues and feedback in positive terms, they would do well to consider how often they express wonder and amazement.
What a wonderful post to wake up to. It certainly is inspiring to see team members with that glow described above. I have found the more time we spend with a company; the more issues we see (if we're not under the influence, and/or still care). That honeymoon phase eventually ends. As we study the organization, we see afflictions. Unless we have pull and rank (usually the department manager or above), there is very little we can do (from an organization point of view). No matter what material I read; I have learned sometimes part of supervising (team leader is the new buzzword, atleast in the civilian sectors), involves eating a sh*t sandwich. The true art is learning to season the sandwich just enough to go down.

Thank you for your time.
We've got to work on improving that metaphor! :)
Fair point. I am open to suggestions.
