To be an effective leader, you must have a positive attitude.  Your attitude drives your behavior and your behavior affects those working around you. 
 
To remain positive, think about these things:
 
1. Your Attitude is a Choice.  You can’t always control what happens to you (or what your client/coworker does or doesn’t do), but you can control how you react to those circumstances.
 
2.  Your Attitude Determines Your Actions.  Your attitude drives your behavior.  Your body language is a reflection of your attitude.
 
3.  Your People Are a Mirror of Your Attitude.  A leader creates the environment that determines people’s moods at the office and their mood, in turn, affects their productivity and level of engagement.
 
4.  Maintaining a Good Attitude is Easier Than Regaining One.
 
If you need an attitude “pick-me-up,” do these things:
 
1.  Feed yourself the right “food.”  Try to think positively and surround yourself with positive reinforcement.
 
2.  Achieve a goal every day.  Set an achievable goal each day so that you feel that you are making progress.  This will help you to feel more positive.
 
3.  Write it on your wall.  Keep reminders of goals you’ve accomplished or things that inspire you to stay positive.  These constant reminders will help you to maintain a positive attitude.
