Five keys to flourishing in trying times

Abstract

Kim Cameron reports on two decades of empirical research on organizations that have faced difficult economic situations but achieved unexpected and exceptional levels of success. Examining these organizations, Cameron has uncovered some unusual leadership strategies that can serve as guidelines for organizations facing trying times. These strategies focus on the positive , or an orientation toward strengths rather than weaknesses and abundance rather than deficits in organizations. Cameron explains why these strategies succeed and offers five critical guidelines on putting them to use in your organization.
