The editors have created a fantastic synthesis of practically useful information and provided inspirational, realistic strategies to maintain one's Best Self and help others do so in the professional world. Business literature needs more books like this which talk about values and peak experience in a rational and applicable manner.
This is not an encyclopedia or a self-help book, but rather a visionary guide to what Positive Organizational Scholarship is - written in anecdotes that most any leader, manager or executive can understand and assimilate into his or her work environment. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I have witnessed my company's culture evolve to an internally directed, other-focused and vibrantly positive community. Quinn's approach of "What Result do you Want to Create" as a question to strategically ask at points of indecision helps readers use POS principles in ways that work for them. This is not a book to replace one's own paradigms, but rather compliment them and fill in gaps while helping people maintain their natural style. Highly recommended and a great read.

| Also by Kim Cameron | This is the introduction to the new field of positive leadership, which helps leaders in all types of organizations reach beyond ordinary success to achieve extraordinary effectiveness, spectacular results, and positively deviant performance. | This book invites organizational scholars to build upon and extend the positive organizational phenomena being examined. It provides the definitional, theoretical, and empirical foundations for what will become a cumulative body of enduring work. | This practical guide, the first to show how leaders can achieve extraordinary results through the positive energy generated by virtuous interactions with employees, is written by one of the giants in the study of positive leadership. | The first practical guide to implementing positive leadership, which helps leaders in all types of organizations reach beyond ordinary success to achieve extraordinary effectiveness, spectacular results, and positively deviant performance. | Kim Cameron delivers both a riveting story and a thoroughly researched case study that delves into the spectacularly impossible success of the shutdown and clean-up of Rocky Flats, one of the most notorious nuclear weapons plants in the US. |
