How to Be a Positive Leader: Small Actions, Big Impact
Summary
Positive leaders are able to dramatically expand their people’s - and their own - capacity for excellence. And they accomplish this without enormous expenditures or huge heroic gestures. Here, leading scholars including Adam Grant, author of the best-selling Give and Take, positive organizational scholarship movement cofounders Kim Cameron and Robert Quinn, and 13 others describe how this is being done at companies like Wells Fargo, Ford, Kelly Services, Burt’s Bees, Connecticut’s Griffin Hospital, Michigan-based Zingerman’s Community of Businesses, and many others. The authors show that, like the butterfly in Brazil whose flapping wings create a typhoon in Texas, you can create profound positive change in your organization through simple actions and attitude shifts.

Awakening Compassion at Work
Summary
We are living in an epidemic of disengagement and despair that calls us to action. Awakening Compassion at Work answers the call, showing us new ways to enliven the humanity of work and in so doing address the suffering of the world and create an innovative, optimistic, and engaged workforce. Scholars and consultants Monica Worline and Jane Dutton approach compassion in organizations through the lens of new research that helps us see what compassion is, how we can create it in our everyday work, and the benefits it offers to both individuals and organizations. They reveal why compassion is integral to recruiting and retaining talented people, essential to delivering high quality service and rapid innovation, and inextricably linked to engagement, collaboration, and adaptability. They even include a tool for assessing your organization's "compassion potential." This book gives us the tools to build skill in creating compassion and invigorating the humanity of our basic institutions.
