Why you should assume the best in people

 


I have met many business leaders who assume their people are by default lazy, incompetent and need to be constantly monitored. When you assume the worst in your people, it shows in your day-to-day behaviour and how you treat them. Then don't be surprised they end up displaying exactly these negative traits. Malice is rarer than you think. When you have positive expectations people want to live up to that. Believing in the goodness of humanity makes you a happier person who creates positive change.
