What makes someone complicated to work with? Is it their politics? Their generation? Their role? According to our nationwide study, none of those even came close. The number one answer, by a long shot, was attitude.

In today’s episode of The Ryan Leak Podcast, I’m unpacking why your attitude matters more than you think. You can’t change your coworker’s personality, your boss’s behavior, or your client’s demands, but you can change your attitude. And the powerful part? When you do, it doesn’t just shift you. It shifts the entire atmosphere.

We’ll talk about emotional contagion, the science behind how your vibe affects your environment, and why your attitude might be the most overlooked leadership tool you have. You don’t get to control every situation, but you do get to choose your stance. And that one choice might be the game-changer.
