Positive leaders are able to dramatically expand their people’s - and their own - capacity for excellence. And they accomplish this without enormous expenditures or huge heroic gestures.

Here, leading scholars including Adam Grant, author of the best-selling Give and Take, positive organizational scholarship movement cofounders Kim Cameron and Robert Quinn, and 13 others describe how this is being done at companies like Wells Fargo, Ford, Kelly Services, Burt’s Bees, Connecticut’s Griffin Hospital, Michigan-based Zingerman’s Community of Businesses, and many others.

The authors show that, like the butterfly in Brazil whose flapping wings create a typhoon in Texas, you can create profound positive change in your organization through simple actions and attitude shifts.

Jargon filled corporate double speak

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is so filled with corporate doublespeak and jargon, cliches and confused inanity it’s virtually unreadable.

The way the book is structured into different chapters by different eminent researchers on different themes makes it easy to pic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2014

I devoured this book as part of my preparation for giving a 2 day workshop on positive leadership to 30 senior managers and managing directors at a large organisation. It is a key reference, with both a broad and deep look at the latest scientific research on what works in positive leadership. It summarises the current state of research across the whole field of positive organisational scholarship. The way the book is structured into different chapters by different eminent researchers on different themes makes it easy to pick out pieces that are especially relevant to a specific situation. Plus, each chapter effectively blends research and application, and all are structured in a similar way, with a very clear exposition of the topic, the background research and the actions that can be taken. Therefore it's easy to see what one can do, why it is likely to be effective, and what results could be expected. I found the book really challenged my thinking to clarify how to teach positive leadership effectively to senior business leaders, and I will be using it as a resource and recommending it to others (as I already have done) for a long time.

How to Be a Positive Leader:

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

How to Be a Positive Leader is a well written book. I am not a leader in our corporation, however, I do interact with several hundred accounts and am always looking for better ways to improve my interaction with each. This book is a good read. It arrived on time and in great condition.

Ashley Benson

Excellent read for leaders at all levels

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book is for leaders at all levels. It provides practical strategies for overcoming an unfulfilling work environment. While it easy to operate with a negative mindset while working in an environment that is not friendly, welcoming, open to new ideas, judgmental, and the negative list goes on, this book challenges reads to view their circumstances through a positive lens that allows them to work toward change. Further, readers are encouraged to view themselves in a positive light that enables them to see themselves as change agents. The application strategies at the end of the book will help leaders to implement the very practices they read about as they work to find their path to positive leadership.
