Good-Guy Power

Good-Guy Power is a sidebar to the article "Charm Offensive" in the June 26, 2006 issue of Business Week. It seems to me that this is good leadership advice.


Good-Guy Power from Business Week

The list comes from the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship .

The points are:

  • Seek out motivators – Optimists and team players trump "experts" in business when it comes to getting things done.
  • Help the happy worker – Because they unleash energy in others, positive energizers are critical to improvements in both individual and company performance.
  • Emphasize ambudance – Focus on your organization's highest potential and emphasize its abundance and opportunities.
  • Foster virtuousness – Try to build a culture that focuses on "virtuousness"--institutionalized compassion, forgiveness, and integrity.
