How much does a bad attitude cost?

 Negative Attitude ... Workplace stress costs U.S. employers an estimated $200 billion per year in absen teeism, lower productivity, staff turnover, workers' compensation, medical insur ance and other stress-related expenses. Considering this, stress management may be business's most important challenge of the 21st century.

      When it comes down to it, people with bad attitudes just don't have a proper perspective on things. Wisdom comes from examined experience, reading the scriptures, prayer, and study. Unfortunately, most people partake in none of these. They assign blame to others for their failures instead of learning the lessons those failures have to teach. They don't pray, they don;t read god books and they certainly don't read the Bible. Being uninformed, they see fit to take only their own counsel on matters in life, and amplify their incorrect conclusions through their bad attitude. At this point, the rest of us are allowed to share in it!
 From the book Leadership & Liberty.

Leadership & Liberty: Pieces of the Puzzle by Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward

This book is designed to build upon Launching a Leadership Revolution and Leadership Tidbits and Treasures by not only reviewing timeless leadership principles, but by focusing them upon leadership as applied by the concepts of liberty and freedom, and specifically to winning back much of what has been lost in our lands.  Our intent is that this book will not only inform and educate, but equip leaders both new and experienced alike, to make an increasing difference in the fight for the first principles of freedom.  As Thomas Jefferson wrote, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free...it expects what never was and will never be.
 


     "Attitude is re framing the thinking about the events in your life to empower you towards victory, instead of dis empowering you towards defeat." Orrin Woodward.
