Attitude (Cont)

In my twenty plus years as business advisor I have used interns from “The Ohio State University”. During the interview process I have never asked one of the potential interns what their GPA is. First I knew it was higher than mine, second, it has very little to do with why I had chosen to bring them aboard. Certainly I want them to possess the communication, writing, and technical skills that are so essential in conveying the Levi Associates mantra. In acquiring the key ingredients for a person to be truly successful in their personal and business life, when the discussion turns to the key elements for those people who under or over achieved, it variably turns to the attitude as the difference maker. The dictionary describes attitude as a position of the body or manner of carrying oneself (state of mind or a feeling; disposition). Most people know it is extremely important, but acquiring and describing it are always the biggest challenge. For the next few weeks, we are going to dissect what a good attitude is, and to further understand how to acquire it, as well as use it to benefit ourselves and others.
