To go complaint-free is a great challenge. At least in my own circle of influence, I can see an entirely different atmosphere coming of that, and in turn potentially a ripple effect that continues out! Of course, I will have to find the proper rewards/punishments for the non-complainers and the whiners :-) Any suggestions?
Think about how punishments are simply a response to the complaint and this is not living into the purpose of going complaint-free.
See, the reactor to the "complainer" is just as powerful. Depending on how we react, we feed the complaint, or not.
The same goes for reward.
I suggest a different way of responding and really find out the needs of the complainer. There is ALWAYS a gift waiting to be opened - even for YOU! :)
As you are a "HARMONIZER" already (having gone thru the HARMONIZE IT video), I welcome you to bring this discussion to our members-only website for further exploration and learning.
I'm typically found brainstorming, conceptualizing, researching, finding patterns, facilitating, or inventing something. Right now, I am sharing my second book (Leadership Unleashed) with Change Agents. More info found on www.jessieupp.com

You bring up a very interesting point, Karin.
