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, a principle known in biology as heliotropism. Further, he shows that the positive relational energy generated by leaders' virtuous behaviors--such as generosity, compassion, gratitude, trustworthiness, forgiveness, and kindness--is tightly linked to extraordinary organizational outcomes like greater innovation, higher profits, and increased engagement and retention. <p/>Cameron has not written a feel-good tome about the power of positive thinking, "happiology," or unbridled optimism. This research-based explanation shows how to achieve performance that exceeds expectations. He provides practical suggestions, assessments, and exercises showing how leaders can improve their own positive energy and increase positive relational energy in their organizations.<i> Positively Energizing Leadership </i>is a major contribution to the theory and practice of leadership.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As someone who has won at every major level of basketball, I know the competitive advantage created by positive leaders that outwardly believe in their team, and the energizing effects they have on team members.
