Empowering People for Success

Create an Environment That Empowers Employees to Succeed

Positivity is the key to creating an empowered, virtuous organization that naturally attracts people. Drawing on a diverse body of research from healthcare to manufacturing, Professor Kim Cameron’s real-world, evidence- based examples demonstrate how leaders can affect organizational culture, positivity, and productivity.

Consider:

• People spend about 20% longer thinking about positive information than negative (and 50% longer than neutral statements).
• Studies show people are more accurate at processing and recalling positive information than negative or neutral information.
• Central nervous system functioning is at its most effective in situations deemed positive.
• The positive energy of leaders has been seen to increase productivity 150%, as well as support job satisfaction, well being, cohesion, and team learning.
• Positivity increases life expectancy (6-7 years for one study and 12 years for another).

The research in this course demonstrates how positive leadership can be used to empower people to not only develop a greater sense of ownership and accountability for their work, but also to produce better outcomes.
