4 Ways our Environment Controls Our Results

There are numerous ways that our environment controls our results. Today's post will discuss 4 ways.
  1. When we surround ourselves with negative people (employees, colleagues, friends, etc.), we become less positive. We may actually become negative as a direct result of being around negative people.
  2. When we surround ourselves with positive, upbeat people, we naturally become more positive and upbeat.
  3. When we develop a "work when it's time to work and play when it's time to play" philosophy, we become more balanced and produce better results.
  4. When we throw caution to the wind, we really jeopardize our results.

These 4 ways are quite simplistic in scope; however, designing productive environments is not rocket science or brain surgery. It is basically common sense with deliberate action. Without deliberate action, our environments may never be as conducive to productivity and solid results.

Our environment really does control our results - and we can exert enough control over the design and development of our environments in order to get the best results possible.
