Provide an example of a time when your attitude had a negative outcome on your job performance? How could you have responded differently?

One example of a time when my attitude negatively impacted my job performance was during a particularly stressful project deadline. I felt overwhelmed and started to express frustration towards colleagues, which created a tense atmosphere in the team. Instead of collaborating effectively and supporting each other, my negative attitude led to misunderstandings and decreased motivation among team members.

In retrospect, I could have responded differently by recognizing my feelings of stress and addressing them in a constructive manner. Instead of venting frustrations, I could have communicated openly with my team, seeking their support and suggesting we work together to break down the project into manageable parts. This approach would have fostered a more positive environment and likely improved our overall productivity and morale. Additionally, practicing mindfulness or stress-reduction techniques could have helped me maintain a more positive outlook during challenging times.
