The research data in favor of leading optimists are quite substantial. These people show that they know how to go beyond the difficulties, perceiving the problems as opportunity rather than a threat. These leaders see others positively, expecting the best from them.
In detail the attitudes of the optimists and the pessimists are the following:
- The optimist accepts stressful events, learning something from these situations; while the pessimist does not address situations that can be stressful and displays limited awareness of the problems.
- The optimist is focused on the task being done, while the pessimist is focused on the negative aspects of the experience.
- The optimist is geared to find the best solution, while the pessimist worries and develops repetitive negative thoughts.
- The optimist manages effectively the emotional reactions, while the pessimist escapes the problems exacerbating some behaviors (eg: feeding in an exaggerated or wrong way, showing a state of excessive fatigue, isolating themselves from others or by searching at all costs psychological support).
- The optimist addresses the problem situations, while the pessimist would like to avoid them.
- The optimist is just centered on physical symptoms (fatigue, headache, etc.), while the pessimist it’s very concerned.
- The optimistic plans the future and establish short-term goals, while the pessimist thinks that it will take too much time to improve.
- The optimist directly addresses those who question their work, presenting the facts that are contrary to these claims, while the pessimist is persuaded by them and feels incapable.
- The optimist interprets the failures in terms of commitment insufficient or wrong strategic choice and not of lack of capacity, while the pessimist attributes them to personal incompetence; believing that if the next race will present a similar situation he/she will still not be able to deal with the problems positively.
- The optimist accepts situations that cannot be changed, while the pessimist looking to get away from these.
The sentences we use always have a meaning, even more have those said by a coach at the end of a game. The last time Napoli did, in the championship, 3 consecutive draws and 2 defeats in the international matches and Mazzarri, its coach said. “Every things run wrong, but if we have two penalties it would be different. I’m sure that the victories will back.” In psychology we define this approach as a pessimist and it is shown that there is a negative relationship between pessimism and success.
In fact, say “There goes all wrong” is a global assessment that says nothing about how the team played and attribute to the case how are things during the match. Giving importance to the penalties denied, it means taking responsibility away from the players because the victory did not come as a result of referee’s decisions.
The winning attitude instead puts on show a different way to explain the performance, so the question is: “What/when did we do wrong in that match” and “What should we do differently next game.” In addition, when the latest results are 3 draws and 2 defeats, it is not unlucky and much to do to regain winning attitude that it has often characterized Napoli.
