The positive effect

Everyone knows about the placebo effect - why shouldn't it also work in companies? Business economists Sven Voelpel and Fabiola Gerpott are convinced that companies with positive employees are more successful. The "positive effect" they describe not only works on a personal level, but also improves teamwork and can lead to a lasting change in corporate culture and the company's public image. Ideally, an open learning culture is established that makes the company more innovative and agile. All of this seems urgently needed, as many companies today are facing competition that is becoming increasingly unpredictable: New business models or disruptive technologies can trigger radical upheavals from one day to the next. In this environment, agility and motivation are not a nice-to-have, but essential for survival. Voelpel and Gerpott have written much more than just a good-mood book; they provide specific tips on how you can work on your own attitude and that of your employees in order to change the climate in your organization for the better. The fact that they often resort to stilted business jargon ("Positive Management 2.0") is forgivable, says getAbstract - and recommends the book to all managers and HR managers.getAbstract rating: 8Implementability: 7Innovation level: 8Style: 8
