Where is your locus of control?
• Internal locus of control… “I have a part in this experience”, “what is, is…my peace, harmony and self-concept is not affected by the actions of others”, “I can be simultaneously self-confident and humble while in service to others.”
• External locus of control… “it’s not my fault”; “they cause me/make me feel…”, I need to focus on what I need”, “humility = weakness…I need to project strength and assuredness”
Your locus of control will, in part, determine your perception of accountability at work, at
home and in life, and whether you hold others accountable.

Impacts of Positivism and CynicismPositivism1. Creates an eagerness (re: job duties and
exchanges; increases productivity – relations – morale – work completion – professional contentment); more productive and better decision-making; good attitudes and atmosphere
2. Concentrated effort at equality and fairness related to public recognition, promotions; offer spot awards / pats on the back; fair workload mgt; employee recognition; offer balanced – constructive feedback and transparent communication
3. Job satisfaction; increased productivity and a fun place to work; goal achievement
4. Personal growth in daily practice; increased level of response; team work/retreats; employee participation in some decision-making
Cynicism1a. Reluctance, decreased motivation
destroys loyalty and desire to do good work; makes you want to be cynical too; bad attitudes of others spoil your day
1b. Voiced-doubts can be constructive IF questioning is meant to promote change and IF the doubter is willing to be part of the change…not just giving a cynical voice to it
2. Gossip/Group discussion; people get away with cynical attitudes; others become less attentive
3. Power/Dominance; “I can get away with it”; Visiting other cynics; being cynical gives cynics “proof” that they were “right” when things go wrong
4. Going out of your way to interact; be a “happy” person and comfortable with who you are; confront and respond; get out of your safety/comfort zone and into your learning/leading zone without going into your panic zone
