How positivity can enrich individuals and companies
August 12, 2004
In an interview, Tom Rath, coauthor of How Full Is Your Bucket?, explains how negativity hurts American business -- and describes the right and wrong ways to recognize employees' good work.
While the daily headlines are full of information on the staggering cost of disengaged workforces, the authors of How Full Is Your Bucket? Positive Strategies for Work and Life focus on the other side of the equation: the impact that positive interactions make on people’s lives -- both at work and at home.
People strong in the Positivity theme have an enthusiasm that is contagious. They are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are going to do.
