Summary

This practical guide， the first to show how leaders can achieve extraordinary results through the positive energy generated by virtuous interactions with employees， is written by one of the giants in the study of positive leadership。

This book is about one of the most important factors that leads to spectacular performance in organizations。 Kim Cameron， a true pioneer in the study of positive leadership， offers validated scientific evidence that all individuals are inherently attracted to and flourish in the presence of positive energy。 Further， he shows that the positive relational energy generated by leaders' virtuous behaviors--for example， generosity， compassion， gratitude， trustworthiness， forgiveness， and kindness--is tightly linked to extraordinary organizational outcomes like greater innovation， higher profits， and increased engagement and retention。

Cameron has not written a feel-good tome about the power of positive thinking， happiology， or unbridled optimism。 This book is a research-based exploration of how to capitalize on an inherent tendency in all living systems。 He provides practical suggestions and exercises for how leaders can assess the level of their positive energy and recommends specific practices that will increase positive relational energy。 Positively Energizing Leadership is a major contribution to the theory and practice of leadership。

An interesting look at virtuous leadership and the positive effect it has on people and organizations。 As a student of leadership and a researcher of the dark side of leadership I found this text highly engaging and well researched but not written in an overly technical manner。 Worth the time to read and instill lessons in your life

Virtuous behavior has its own reward。Virtuous behavior， pursued for its own benefit， also produces organizational changes in productivity and people's sense of belonging。 Cameron backs up his argument with abundant data from research projects to support his thesis。 If you espouse and practice servant leadership， this will reinforce you beliefs。 Virtuous behavior has its own reward。Virtuous behavior， pursued for its own benefit， also produces organizational changes in productivity and people's sense of belonging。 Cameron backs up his argument with abundant data from research projects to support his thesis。 If you espouse and practice servant leadership， this will reinforce you beliefs。 。。。more

This is a different type of business leadership book。 Based in studies， it presents a positive energy leadership style。 The book has many good ideas and positive practices。 There only real issue I have is the insistence that people are all basically good and just need direction。 There are examples of virtuousness， but no real definition， as it is almost impossible define virtuousness without a common basis for what is virtuous。 A solid book， and if you can work past the strain of all people are This is a different type of business leadership book。 Based in studies， it presents a positive energy leadership style。 The book has many good ideas and positive practices。 There only real issue I have is the insistence that people are all basically good and just need direction。 There are examples of virtuousness， but no real definition， as it is almost impossible define virtuousness without a common basis for what is virtuous。 A solid book， and if you can work past the strain of all people are good and can all work together， the book has much to commend it。Recommended。 。。。more

I liked this book， but I’m an easy sell when it comes to creating positive energy in an organization。 Cameron’s book makes a great case for why being a positively energizing leader makes sense and how it affects the impact these leaders make in the workplace。 The data supports that creating positive energy in people will create higher performing employees， which in turn creates higher performing organizations。 It doesn’t take manipulation and deception to do it。 The qualities that create this en I liked this book， but I’m an easy sell when it comes to creating positive energy in an organization。 Cameron’s book makes a great case for why being a positively energizing leader makes sense and how it affects the impact these leaders make in the workplace。 The data supports that creating positive energy in people will create higher performing employees， which in turn creates higher performing organizations。 It doesn’t take manipulation and deception to do it。 The qualities that create this energy can be boiled down to being genuine， acting with integrity， and displaying virtuous behavior。 He uses good examples that show this isn’t some wacky， far-out thing where everyone joins hands and sings Kumbaya。 Those examples highlight how positively energizing leadership has been developed across the globe and even explains the challenges leaders faced because of their cultural norms。 There’s a resource-filled appendix you can adapt for your organization。 All in all， it’s a quick read that makes a case that giving in relationships is more important than receiving。 I received an advance copy for review。 。。。more
