Michael Fassnacht on "The Power of Optimism" and "Smart Optimism"

Very Interesting: Michael Fassnacht shared his insights on "The Power of Optimism" and his "Smart Optimism" practice in Crains Chicago Business.

Michael writes that a "pillar of long-term success is authentic optimism. Optimism isn't just a natural disposition; it's a deliberate choice in how we approach each moment in our professional lives. It’s a truly intentional act that can unlock the power of optimism in many professional interactions. For me, optimism isn't just a surface-level attitude; it's a deep-seated belief in our ability to shape the atmosphere of any gathering, inspire others to reach their full potential, and contribute to a brighter future for everyone we meet. The most successful professionals don't rely on blind optimism but practice what I call "smart optimism" — an optimism grounded in data, analysis and strategic foresight. In the professional realm, optimism isn't just a mindset; it's a calculated outlook based on research and a keen awareness of future possibilities."
