a "Challenging times require leaders who can lead others through the challenges. Great leaders realize that it's not the numbers that drive the people, but the people that drive the numbers. While you have to measure results, you must do so with the knowledge that the outcome is simply a by-product of your culture, teamwork, vision, talent, innovation, execution and commitment to your people and process. To win you must win with people. To create true and lasting success you must invite the right people on your bus, take the time to invest in them, develop them, nurture them and when you help them grow they'll help you grow. It all starts with a decision to be a positive leader and the understanding that leadership is not just about what you do but what you can inspire, encourage and empower others to do. When you are a positive leader you bring out the best within each of your employees by sharing the best within you. Instead of running over the people in your organization you invite them on the bus with you and empower them to help you create an amazing and successful ride. The Positive Leader is an essential guide to leading with optimism, enthusiasm and positive energy"-- |c Provided by publisher
