Document Summary
Negativity bias describes how the human mind reacts more quickly and strongly to perceived bad things than it does to good things. People pay more attention to negative happenings than to positive ones. Leaders in organizations are bombarded with problems, threats, and obstacles. Positive leadership uses theoretically grounded principles to promote outcomes such as thriving at work, interpersonal flourishing, positive emotions, and energized teams. Three aspects of positive leadership: affirmative bias, facilitating intrinsic goodness, exceeding expectations. 7 steps to a toxic workplace: belittle others" efforts, don"t keep promises, never apologize, leave a mess for others to clean up, stick with your own crowd, judge others, never express gratitude. Independent thinking questioning assumptions and interpreting data and events according to one"s own beliefs, ideas, and thinking, not according to pre-establish rules, routines, or categories defined by others: one part of what is called leader mindfulness.
