Optimistic Leaders create more Productive and Happier Workplaces
By Victor Perton
In his insightful essay, Why Optimistic Leaders Create More Productive and Happier Workplaces, excerpted from his book Creating a Culture of Purpose, Excellence, and Transformative Human Engagement, Robert Stiller emphasizes how "confident, optimistic founders and CEOs create more value—and better, happier workplaces."
He adds, “As the founder of an organization, it’s not enough just to have a positive, clear vision and an optimistic outlook. You also need to share it with others—customers, investors, shareholders, and especially employees.”
Infectious Optimism is the key to effective leadership in the 2020s: inspiring and tapping into the optimism of those around you.
As leaders, it's essential to cultivate optimism within your teams. Optimistic leadership isn't about blind positivity; it's about motivating others by focusing on strengths and possibilities, even in challenging times. Leaders who embrace optimism help create environments where people feel valued, engaged, and ready to tackle big goals.
Leadership today calls for realism paired with a relentless belief in the potential for progress.
This combination of realistic optimism and trust in human potential fosters innovation, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose.
Great leaders regularly ask their employees, customers, investors, and shareholders, "What makes you optimistic?" and share that optimism to ignite the same hope in others.
