The recent emphasis on positive leadership has revolutionized traditional approaches to leading and managing. Producing extraordinarily high performance, generating positively deviant results - results that are dramatically better than normal - and creating remarkable vitality in the workplace are the most frequent consequences of positive leadership. Empirical research by Kim Cameron has confirmed these outcomes, but the lingering question is "how?" What specifically can leaders do to practice positive leadership? This book provides five proven practices - tools and techniques - for practicing positive leadership. These tools and techniques have been confirmed as highly successful in leading individual employees and organizations to attain extraordinarily high levels of flourishing and effectiveness. They build on and supplement Kim Cameron's previous book, Positive Leadership, which outlined the theory but, in the interest of brevity, omitted details about implementation. Developmental exercises and action activities associated with each positive practice are provided in the book to help the practices become instantly implementable.

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.
