How to Be a Positive Leader: Small Actions, Big Impact, Paperback

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 bestselling Give and Take; positive organizational scholarship movement cofounders Kim Cameron and Robert Quinn; and thirteen more describe how this is being done at companies such as Wells Fargo, Ford, Kelly Services, Burt s Bees, Connecticut s Griffin Hospital, the Michigan-based Zingerman s Community of Businesses, and many others. They 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."
