Mission Impossible: Positive Leadership

Do your co-workers view you as a positive leader? Do you wonder how others think about your attitude as a leader? A quick test is to observe the way people react to you when you walk into a room. Are people happy to see you? Do they want to talk to you? Or do they quickly make themselves scarce? If they run when they see you, it's time for a tune-up.

Negativity in organizations is costing US businesses $300 billion/year. It is imperative that leaders establish a culture of positive leadership. As a leader, others look to you to set the tone for your team/organization. Being engaged and committed to a positive culture is a priority for the leader, and also every employee in the organization. Organizations that have a positive leader are more productive, have happier employees and most importantly, happy and satisfied customers. 

Key take aways:

  • Develop strategies for creating a positive culture at work.
  • Discuss ways to increase productivity at work.  
  • Learn key strategies to improve interpersonal employee recognition.
  • Learn key strategies to improve communication and trust throughout your organization.

Hughes is an author, speaker, consultant, executive coach, and is best known for his expertise in the science of happiness, organizational/cultural change, diversity & Inclusion and leadership development.

On-Demand Staff: The New Global Landscape

FUTURE WORK + FUTURE WORKERS + HR = THRIVING

Google allegedly uses more contingent/gig workers than FTEs.The gig economy landscape is shifting, and so is the on demand work force. Some are not at all interested in full-time, regular jobs, and are building bonafide professional free-lance careers. Issues related to co-employment and classification may be the simplest matters for employers who seek top talent,especially in their mission critical roles, and may not know how or where to recruit new streams of alt-workers. 


Here comes Sean Ring, co-founder of Fulcrum, a San Diego technology startup which aggregates on demand sites for free lancers. His thought leadership is in digital staffing, corporate responsibility and the triple bottom line, technology related to boundary-less talent pools and talent networks.
