Organizational Manager Poem
Considering this poem "Attitude is everything," by Franklin-Covey Bookmark (1996) and applying it to the perspective of an organizational manager
An organizational manager is responsible for inspiring a positive attitude and motivating his or her staff members to perform at their optimum level of productivity. However, an organizational manager cannot merely demand that other employees have a positive attitude and work hard even in the face of great obstacles. The manager must also embody a positive attitude in his or her own demeanor. The poem "Attitude is everything," stresses that a manager, from the moment he or she walks through the office door must walk, speak, and move as if today is going to be a productive and fulfilling day.
People will 'read' an individual as motivated or unmotivated to inspire others not just in business interactions, but also in the conversation and small talk of the office.
It is not enough for the manager 'get motivated' to inspire others during the biggest weekly office meetings, or when the boss is around the corner. Employees will notice such falseness. Rather a good manager must behave "all the time, wherever you are," as the poem says, in a positive fashion, and give everyone equal consideration "every hour," to all employees. Act positively, treat others equally, and you will feel more upbeat and ready to face the world with a fully functioning team, as well, the poem counsels.
Also, if a manager expects the best of employees they will perform to that high standard. If a manager expects the worst of his or her staff, individuals will also lower their expectations. Expect to solve problems and that your employees are capable. Do not throw up your hands at the first setback, work hard, but don't try to micromanage individuals over aspects of the job "over which you have no control." Thus the poem's stress on "emphasizing the good," is designed to create a strong, tough, and resourceful mind. Only by refusing to be defeated in one's own tasks will others be inspired by the manager's optimistic example.

He masked himself as Philostrate as he finds his way towards Athens. His standing for righteous activities and healthy language developed so quickly that in a short span of time he turned into a beloved companion of Theseus (Hubertis, 1916). Palamon, meanwhile, has wasted seven more years in jail, and has almost gone insane. Incongruously, nevertheless, an acquaintance ultimately assisted him to getaway from his imprisonment. He took to his
Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor The popular notion that the Puritans were wholly focused on their religion is not much of an exaggeration. Even a casual exploration of writing from the colonial period in America underscores this thematic dominance: Puritan authors felt duty-bound to use their writing to support believers to stay the righteous course. The Puritans believed that life on earth was test of faith in God and an opportunity
