“Be Enthusiastic” smacks of trite sloganeering. “Be energetic” sounds obvious. “Be passionate” seems boring. Yet without enthusiasm, energy and passion, you cannot lead your field and an organization cannot get to world-class. (Hey, I never pretended this leadership stuff was rocket science).

The people I love to be around are often those that have a simple, heartfelt quality: they are enthusiastic. They are open to life. They are curious. They love to learn. They smile when they see me. And they have a lot of fun.

Today, show up at work with all the enthusiasm you can genuinely muster. See the best in people. Go the extra mile to wow your customers. See the opportunity amidst a seeming setback. Embrace change as an opportunity to grow. Learn something new. Have a laugh with a teammate. I'll be the first to agree that you can't control what happens to you each day. But with an abundance of enthusiasm, I have no doubt that whatever the coming hours bring, you will handle them with grace, strength and a smile.
