Leadership should be about much more than hitting targets and
avoiding mistakes. Kim Cameron shows how to reach beyond ordinary
success to achieve extraordinary effectiveness, spectacular
results, and what he calls ''positively deviant performance'' -
performance far above the norm. Positive leadership enables
thriving and flourishing rather than simply addressing obstacles
and impediments. It helps bring out the best in human nature.
Cameron is one of the founders of the new field of Positive
Organizational Scholarship, which studies unusually high -
performing organizations. In Positive Leadership he draws on
discoveries in this field and in the allied field of positive
psychology - which focuses on high - functioning individuals - as
well as positive organizational change methodologies. He identifies
four interrelated leadership strategies: Positive Climate:
fostering emotions such as optimism, compassion, and gratitude
Positive Relationships: building positive energy networks and
developing strength - based activities Positive Communications:
fostering best - self feedback and supportive communication
patterns Positive Meaning: helping people find profound purpose and
a sense of callingCameron cites the empirical research that these
strategies are rooted in and that supports their bottom - line
effectiveness, lays out a proven process for implementing them, and
includes a self - assessment instrument and a guide to assist
leaders in the implementation process. Positive Leadership is a
concise, thoroughly researched, and practical guide that any leader
can use to generate truly amazing results.
