Positive Leadership shows how to reach beyond ordinary success to achieve
extraordinary effectiveness, spectacular results, and what Kim Cameron calls
"positively deviant performance"--performance far above the norm. Citing a wide
range of research in organizational development and psychology as well as real-
world examples, Cameron shows that to go from successful to exceptional, leaders
must learn how to create a profoundly positive environment in the workplace.
They must build on strengths rather than simply focus on weaknesses; foster
positive emotions like compassion, optimism, gratitude, and forgiveness;
encourage mutually supportive relationships at all levels; and provide employees
with a deep sense of meaning and purpose. In this concise, inspiring, and
practical guide, Cameron describes four specific positive leadership strategies,
lays out a proven process for implementing them, and includes a self-assessment
instrument and a guide to assist leaders in the implementation process.
