Election Day 2016: Bring Your Excitement, Not Your Venom
Adobe Stock/Elio Gutzemberg.
On this Election Day 2016, most of us have clients, vendors, suppliers, employees, supervisors, colleagues, family and/or friends on both sides of the aisle, Democrat and Republican. And some independents, too.
Professional development tip:
If someone’s giving you a hard time about the election today or acting over the top, there’s a simple response:
Bring your excitement, not your venom.
(In some cases, you may need to say it more than once.)
Be a leader for the greater cause. Tomorrow, we are all one nation again.
