Continuing his groundbreaking work in Positive Organizational Scholarship, Robert Quinn (bestselling author of Deep Change) offers a clear path and concrete actions for creating extraordinarily high-performing organizational cultures. Robert Quinn shows how to defy convention and create organizations where people feel fully engaged and continually rewarded, where both individually and collectively they flourish and exceed expectations. Quinn offers a more positive mental map, using dozens of memorable stories, shows how leaders can facilitate the emergence of a more positive organizational culture by helping people gain a sense of purpose, engage in authentic conversations, see new possibilities, and sacrifice for the common good. The book includes the Positive Organization Generator, a tool that enables leaders to identify and implement the positive practices their organization most needs.

I’ve been intrigued by the power of the positive since my early skateboard days listening to Bad Brains PMA

I bought this book the very first day it was available. Quinn is one of the forefathers of the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS) at the University Of Michigan Ross School Of Business. 5 Years ago I attended a Positive Leadership executive education course at Michigan. I was introduced to the positive organization concept and the underlying academic discipline of Positive Psychology. I’ve been intrigued by the power of the positive since my early skateboard days listening to Bad Brains PMA.

Quinn hypothesizes that by using the Positive Organization Generator (provided in the appendix and online here) and doing some work we can lead our organizations to a more positive place. The trick is that most leaders, over the years, have developed negative and constraining mental maps. They see all organizations as top-down hierarchies where people are primarily self-interested and driven by fear. Quinn wants to show us how to change our mental map to one where we see organizations as networks of relationships full of people motivated by their desires to grow, learn and serve a larger goal.

I believe Quinn. I have seen the results first hand in my organization.

Anyone interested in leadership, change management, and positive organizational thought should give this book some serious attention.

It’s practical and clear in its approach. I look forward to implementing some of these strategies.
