We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life can be hard. As a leader, you will face numerous obstacles, negativity, and tests. There will be times when it seems as if everything in the world is conspiring against you and your vision seems more like a fantasy than a reality. That's why positive leadership is essential! Positive leadership is not about fake positivity. It is the real stuff that makes great leaders great. The research is clear. Being a positive leader is not just a nice way to lead. It's the way to lead if you want to build a great culture, unite your organization in the face of adversity, develop a connected and committed team, and achieve excellence and superior results.

Since writing the mega best seller The Energy Bus, Jon Gordon has worked and consulted with leaders who have transformed their companies, organizations and schools, won national championships, and are currently changing the world.

Same old "Just be positive with work=success"

Just be positive. When you die people will remember you if you were loving and positive.
Just be it...just do it....look at all these people that did it. They prove that this is the best way and that being positive will provide you with tremendous success.

Great content Jon! I got inspired. For my CC, if you could get the speed of your speech down by just one stop it'll make a huge difference.

Keep writing and inspiring people!

More power to you!

Decent

Decent beginning content but WAY too many stories about coaches and coaching sports teams. Not enjoyable from about halfway point onwards.

What techniques?

Anecdotes with mix personal experience, sport references and opinion.

No strategies, no depth (most segments are a few minutes long).

Forced myself to finish, unfortunately I did not find it motivational or inspirational. To be fair I expected it to be a book on leadership, which it is only in the sense that leadership is the theme of the book.

Only okay

Lots of small empowering messages but over all fell flat. 'Fact' in the book threw me off "most people die at 9AM on Mondays, people are doing going to work"
Looked it up for US stats: most people die at 11AM on Saturday.
