How do you counter entitlement in your culture?
When you see entitlement in the culture where you live or work, there are five steps to counter it:
- Model the way. Just as you won’t expel darkness with frustration, you won’t drive out entitlement with annoyance. Instead of complaining, be the light. You attract others by being attractive.
- Stick with the winners. Find the allies in your culture who live by the values you are committed to and work together to create the kind of environment you want to work and live in.
- Put your attention on personal responsibility. Whatever you focus on will grow. If you focus on being frustrated with entitlement, your frustrations will flourish. If you attend to the values you are committed to live, they will grow.
- Stay grateful. The attitude of gratitude is the antidote to entitlement. What you appreciate will appreciate.
- Be careful not to make things too easy for those under your care. Comfort breeds entitlement.
