Why it matters
Research in positive psychology shows what happens when people move from a negative, neutral or stressed state to a positive one. That is the effect I work to create in leaders, teams and cultures.

From the book
The strongest results are not created only through strategy, goals and plans. They are created through people.
Kindness is not decoration. It is performance infrastructure.
