Today's business leaders face intense pressure to deliver results in an uncertain, chaotic, and high-stress business environment, and most leaders fall victim to their built-in "negativeity bias"—the neural circuitry of the brain that compels us to respond faster and more intensely to problems than possibilities. In Lead Positive, psychologist and consultant Kathryn Cramer teaches leaders how to train their brains to approach themselves, others and the situations they find themselves in from a base of positivity. The end result, she argues, will be leaders that solve problems faster, inspire followers and react better to stressful situations, improve culture and get better results over the long haul.
