In this week's edition of Impactful Teamwork, Julia Felton, founder of Business HorsePower, shares insights on how attitude shapes the performance and success of teams. Julia recounts her inspiring visit to Eat Sleep Ride, a community interest group in Scotland, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive attitude within a team. Drawing from John Maxwell's concept of the 'Law of the Bad Apple,' Julia explains how both positive and negative attitudes can influence team dynamics and outcomes. She offers practical principles on recognizing and managing attitudes to foster a high-performing team. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their team’s attitudes and consider strategies for cultivating a positive, collaborative environment.
