Can you weaponize a positive mental outlook? In this short episode, Jim talks about positivity and optimism and how they can be cultivated and employed by leaders. When your job is basically to foresee and plan for worst-case scenarios, this can be a factor that is easy to overlook. Optimism can go beyond simplistic hooah moto slogans!

Positivity isn't magic. You can't optimism your way through a situation you aren't ready for any more than you can mindset your way through a fight. Productive positivity, however, is never allowing yourself to say "this sucks" without adding "…and this is how I'm going to fix it." Listen in as Jim offers his thoughts on a practical positive attitude.
