It can be difficult to stay positive in the wake of a major work transition, leaving a job that has defined a career for years. Stephen Colbert, the longtime host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, is wrapping up his 11-year run this Thursday. CNN analyst Brian Stelter says his public reaction is inspiring for leaders and professionals.
“He’s been choosing to be so positive, he’s radiated gratitude,” Stelter recently said in a panel at Fortune’s Workplace Innovation Summit with editor Indrani Sen, adding that Colbert has operated under the mindset that “‘I’d rather be grateful for the time I had on air than be angry that it’s ending.’”
