A majority of A/E/P principals are optimistic that business will pick up this year

Better to be an optimist than a pessimist! Norman Vincent Peale long-ago pointed out the “power of positive thinking”.

Here’s the beginning of a post on the ZweigWhite’s blog:

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (May 3, 2011) –New evidence points to a brightening mood among the leaders of design firms, with bonuses, raises and incentives now poised to make a comeback.

A majority of A/E/P principals are optimistic that business will pick up this year, according to ZweigWhite’s 2011 Principals, Partners & Owners Survey. Eleven percent of the respondents stated that business will be much better in 2011, and 57 percent said they believe it will be somewhat better. Only 16 percent believe the business environment will be somewhat worse, and no respondents said they felt things would be much worse this year. Seven percent expressed no opinion.
