Even seemingly innocuous negativity, such as Monday morning commiserating, can infect your team and negatively impact performance. This book shows you how to let the sunshine in, and bring everyone into the light to start aiming high and achieving higher.

• Go beyond communication to truly connect with your team
• Commit to positivity and build contagious energy
• Own your mistakes, find strength, have faith, and do better

• Set an example of positivity and encouragement for those around you

Positivity is not about constructing a rainbows-and-sunshine veneer—it’s about developing the ability to genuinely see the best in any situation, and leveraging silver linings into success. It’s about “we can” over “we haven’t,” and about “get to” rather than “have to.” It’s a movement based on tangible benefits from a revolutionary transformation that doesn’t have to cost a dime. The Power of Positive Teams gets you started on this incredible journey with a real-world framework for making it happen.
