Lean Six Sigma: A Dose of Positivity

In your change management efforts, as difficult as they are at times, it’s important to always remain positive. As you know, people are are always watching and, what you say, do, or not do is a signal to them of how to behave, believe, and do.

Indeed, remaining positive during tough times and having an attitude of hope and encouragement is a mark of mature leadership.

From time to time, those in the middle of change management efforts, need some help ourselves – we need help in staying positive, especially when things become difficult.

In those times, I’ve turned to music to help me. Recently, I’ve found Jack Johnson’s song “Upside Down” to really buoy me up. Here are the lyrics, followed by a live performance of “Upside Down”. I hope you enjoy it.

Who’s to say
What’s impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There’s no stopping curiosity

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I’ll find the things they say just can’t be found
I’ll share this love I find with everyone
We’ll sing and dance to Mother Nature’s songs
I don’t want this feeling to go away

Who’s to say
I can’t do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren’t always just what they seem

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I’ll find the things they say just can’t be found
I’ll share this love I find with everyone
We’ll sing and dance to Mother Nature’s songs
This world keeps spinning and there’s no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round and

Upside down
Who’s to say what’s impossible and can’t be found
I don’t want this feeling to go away
