Positive leaders get more out of their people and motivate them to discover their grit and be their best. Do you know what the #1 predictor of success is? Over talent, title, wealth or appearance, grit will get you to a successful finish line nearly every time. The positive leader has grit because positive leadership is serious, hard work that requires daily, focused determination. No Pollyanna, unicorns or rainbows here. Leaders and teams who lose their \\u2018Super Bowl,\\u2019 the \\u2018big one,\\u2019 don\\u2019t wallow in their loss, but they look forward to future victories. And while those future victories are sweet, the positive leader doesn\\u2019t consider them the ultimate victory. They also take that positivity to other areas of their life and focus on being great spouses, parents, siblings and friends. Do you consider yourself a positive individual, or are you allowing negativity to get the upper hand? Don\\u2019t beat yourself up over negativity and be diligent in putting it behind you and looking for the positive. Uncover the grit that is essential to successful, positive leaders and you will have uncovered the #1 predictor of your success.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nLearn more about Jon Gordon by clicking here.\\xa0 You can also connect with him on Twitter @JonGordon11.\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\nIf you'd like to go directly to a link about his book,\\xa0The Power of Positive Leadership: How and Why Positive Leaders Transform Organizations and Change the World, click here.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nClick here to check out our newest leadership development tool \\u2013 LEAD \\u2013 Leadership Education and Development\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nSteve Caldwell is an executive mentor and coach to managers and leaders who desire to excel in their career and become the leader others want to follow.
