Attitude is Everything

When it comes to hiring people, attitude matters, so look for job applicants 
with a positive attitude. And be sure to develop it in yourself and your 
organization too.

Leadership training consultant Mark Murphy tracked 20,000 new hires at Fortune 
500 companies and found that nearly half of them failed within the first 18 
months on the job. An overwhelming 89 percent of those failures stemmed from 
“attitudinal reasons,” he found.

Author and educator Roger Martin told the Harvard Business Review that he once 
hired only “smart” candidates. After many of those high-potential employees 
failed, Martin turned his attention to candidates he deemed less “brittle.” 
Those workers turned out to be more successful. They listened to feedback, 
sought professional development and improved morale on their teams despite 
having slightly lower GPAs than the “smart” candidates.

So hire for attitude – and seek to improve it in your own organization too. 
Make sure you come to work each day with a positive attitude so your employees 
can feed off that. And take steps to make sure your working environment is 
positive too.

Set reasonable goals and expectations. Author Geoffrey James recounts the story 
of a salesman who was only happy when he closed 7-figure deals. As that 
happened only about once a year, the salesman wasn’t happy very often. So give 
your team a combination of “quick wins” and “stretch goals” so they have reason 
to celebrate regularly while still aiming high. James recommends developing a 
list of rules for your business that encourage happiness. With greater 
transparency and reasonable expectations, employees will understand that 
happiness matters in your company’s culture.

And encourage your employees to start the day with a good attitude. Perks like 
bagels and fruit and a hearty welcome from the boss can help.
