Kim Cameron | Using Positively Energizing Leadership To Help People Flourish

With everything we’ve all experienced over the last two years, it can feel more challenging than ever to ask employees to stay the course and trust things will work out. So how do leaders inspire people to deliver their best despite their understandable concerns about the future? That’s what I’ll be exploring with my guest in this episode of my “Leadership Biz Cafe” podcast, Kim Cameron.Kim is the Professor Emeritus of Management and Organizations in the Ross School of Business and Professor of Higher Education in the School of Education at the University of Michigan. For the past 20 years, he’s been researching the role virtuousness plays in improving employee performance and organizational success. His work has become so popular that he’s been recognized as one of the top ten organizational scholars in the world whose work has been most frequently downloaded on Google.He’s also the author of the book “Positively Energizing Leadership - Virtuous Actions and Relationships That Create High Performance”, which serves as the focus of my conversation with Kim in this episode.Over the course of this episode, some of the points Kim and I discuss include:The science behind positive energy and how it differs from other forms of energy (physical, mental, emotional, psychological).What research has shown the impact positive energy has on employee performance and retention.What attributes do leaders who are positive energizers possess - and how every leader can be like them.How leaders can be positive energizers for every member in their team.A powerful 4-step strategy to deal with employees who are “black holes” that drain energy from the team.Far from being a “nice-to-have” idea, my conversation with Kim here will help you understand why this is a necessity if your organization is to not achieve its objectives, but for your employees to flourish under your leadership.https://open.spotify.com/episode/0BkGrmWgsd9tVtOMq8ea72Noteworthy links:Buy Kim’s book “Positively Energizing Leadership” on Amazon*Learn more about Kim’s work at University of Michigan*sponsored link that helps to support this podcast.
