Whether it’s the families of the passengers of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 or of those killed at Ft.

Imagine that the top 10 % of a company are “Yaysayers,” the middle 80 % are “Maybesayers” and the bottom 10 % are “Naysayers.”

From HBR: To Collaborate More, Try an Olive Branch on Steroids
With the exception of “dyed-in-the-wool” unforgiving types (you know, the ones who seem to delight in ruining family holiday dinners), one of the things that nearly the rest of all other people are defenseless against is a sincere, earnest, unsolicited apology.

“Everybody here has the ability to do anything I do and much beyond. Some of you will and some of you won’t. For those who won’t, it will be because you get in your own way, not because the world doesn’t allow you.”

- A cynic is someone who refuses to believe;
- A pessimist is someone who has given up on believing.
