HURDLE:

I do not think I have a positive reputation in my organization.

Raise Your Visibility & Value: Managing Your Reputation with Your Confidential “Inner Circle”

Over the next few weeks, we’ll offer some helpful suggestions for overcoming typical hurdles people face when managing their reputations in their organization and industry.

HURDLE:

I do not demonstrate a positive attitude with my confidential “inner circle” (work friends with whom I can share anything).

SUGGESTIONS:

  • Read a book (e.g. Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking) or an article about building and illustrating a positive attitude. From your reading, identify two or three activities you can do to make progress in building a more positive attitude.
  • Ask for feedback from one or more trusted colleagues on your attitude at work. Give your colleagues permission to be candid in the spirit of helping you become more effective.
  • Observe your behavior during your next interaction with your “inner-circle.” Refrain from comments which could be perceived as negative.
  • Create a goal to focus only on the positive when you are with your “inner-circle.” Watch for how much positive conversation is occurring and remember how easy it is to get “sucked-in” to negative conversations.

I recently had the pleasure and honor of being interviewed on Wanda Wallace’s radio show, “Out of the Comfort Zone.”

How can you think about the value you bring to your organization and insure others see that value?”

Raise Your Visibility & Value: How Behavior Influences Your Reputation

If attitude reflects the intangible choices that you make regarding people and situations, behavior reflects the tangible choices you make which influence your reputation.

Behavior is easier to define than attitude, as we can see behavior more readily. While you can see some aspects of attitude (i.e., a smile on an optimistic colleague or a look of exasperation by a negative co-worker), behavior is where the “rubber hits the road.”

Raise Your Visibility & Value: How Attitude Influences Your Reputation

Attitude is one of those human characteristics that is very hard to describe.

You don’t think a lot about the definition of attitude until you are asked to share an opinion regarding a colleague. As you think about your colleague, one of the defining characteristics on which you will reflect is his attitude. It is very common to hear something similar to one of the following statements when you are thinking about one of your colleagues:

  • “I love Carol! She has a great attitude and always gets her work done with a smile.”
  • “David? Ugh. That guy has such a bad attitude. I stay away from him as much as I can.”
  • “Mark is a real go-to guy. I can really depend on him to deliver.”
