Even as leaders we all work for someone. Whether it is for a boss higher up the food chain, the shareholders, or our clients, we always answer to somebody. And when the person you’re working for lays down a goal in front of you, you have two possible attitudes you can take:

“Let’s figure out how we can do it”

or

“Let’s figure out why we can’t.”

Ask yourself which attitude would work best for your organization?

And now ask yourself which attitude you really have. Really.
