Abstract:
Positive emotions have the power to transform an ordinary team into a high-performance machine. Everyone operates at their peak: their minds sharpen and they become more creative-seeing possibilities they would otherwise miss. Filled with practical tools, this groundbreaking guide draws on the latest scientific research and reveals how anyone can foster emotional bonds and team spirit; transform fear and negativity; eliminate ego-based separation; energize primal emotion systems; and connect the team to a deeper purpose.
