Mindset
To be an effective change agent I find it helps to have an A+ mindset: 1) Accept the current situation; don’t deny the reality, no matter how challenging. 2) Affirm the positive; there is always something good happening, no matter how small. 3) Acknowledge the possibility for change; nothing is fixed forever, no matter how stuck it seems. 4) Act to make the situation better; be part of the solution, no matter how big the problem. And 5) Appreciate the contribution of others; every change is a collective, cooperative effort, no matter who appears to be in the lead.
