Positive Leadership Really Works!

Positive Leadership is a leadership guide for the 21st Century. Research shows how leadership is changing, even over the last 5 years. Today's leaders need to be skilled at developing and building relationships and connecting with people, to bring out that huge potential everyone has, but rarely offers. This book, Positive Leadership, is all about harnessing that hidden potential within people, but in a big way. Especially by accessing the right brain - the enormous intuitive intelligence we all have.

Instead of typical problem solving, which goes on today in 90-percent-plus of everything, whether it involves medicine, education, psychology or business, Cameron urges leaders not to ignore problems, but to set abundant visions. The world is fixated on fixing problems. However, what if we set our sites higher than just "normal," with intentions of achieving something extraordinary? As an example, in another book by Cameron, which he references in Positive Leadership, called "Making the Impossible Possible," he talks about the Rocky Flats nuclear arsenal, the most dangerous place in America at one time. A major analysis, costing about $18 million, to show what it would take to clean it up, estimated 70 years and $36 billion. But through positive leadership, over 200 innovations led to much more than just a clean-up - their abundant vision was to create a wild life refuge. After only 10 years, and a savings of $30 billion, their abundant vision came to fruition.

As a consultant, I use positive leadership tools in my practice and see people achieving extraordinary accomplishments - beyond the expectations of everyone. Positive leadership is all about creating positive emotions in people. Along the lines of emotional intelligence - but a lot more focused. Scientific proof shows how positive emotions enables people to think more broadly, quicker, and more accurate - leading organizations to having greater creativity, more capable and collaborative people, better and faser decisions and a greater competitive edge.

I rated this book only 4, instead of 5 stars, not for anything wrong. I felt is was a bit short and could've provided more on this important topic that needs to receive much more attention in the business community.

Kim Cameron presents the research behind Positive Leadership in an easy-to-read and understand manner, formatting the book around the different pieces of Positive Leadership. Although a quick read, the book is chalked full of valuable information for anyone interested in learning more about the field or brushing up on their own leadership skills.

I had to read this book in one of my business classes, and I thought it was pretty good. It's short and to the point, and gives good information without being too tedious to read.
