Attitudes Attitudes are the established ways of responding to people and situations that we have learned, based on the beliefs, values and assumptions we hold. Attitude become manifest through our behavior. Attitude Drives Behavior Attitudes are Attitude Is Infectious Your attitude is the first thing people pick up on in face-to-face communication.1 Just as laughing, yawning, and crying are infectious, attitude is infectious. Before you say a word, your attitudes can infect the people who see you with the same behavior. Somehow just by looking or feeling, you can be infected by another person's attitude, and vice versa. When you are operating from inside a really useful attitude, such as enthusiasm, curiosity, and humility, your body language tends to take care of itself and sends out unmistakable signals of openness. Attitude Motivation Attitude motivation is about how people think and feel. "It is their self-confidence, their belief in themselves, their attitude to life - be it positive or negative. It is how they feel about the future and how they react to the past."2
