to the "Peter Principle". This handbook is written from a perspective of a seasoned hospital administrator who experienced the difficulties of transitioning from being a technical skill high performer to leading multiple teams. Positude Leadership in its most simplistic terms means leading your staff with a positive attitude, seeing each person as an individual and leading with great passion, skill, knowledge and ability. This handbook will guide managers to become a collaborative positude leader by adopting four strategies and five essential skills. From deep personal experience, if applied consistently knowing that it will take many repetitions to be great, one will see your culture, engagement and performance metrics improve significantly. Leading with positude will allow you to rise above the others and spread positive attitude throughout your organization. Take a calculated risk by being the first to adopt a new approach, lead with great focus through context and provide a safe environment whereby your most valuable assets feel free to be heard and contribute. Every day is a new day, a new beginning, a new opportunity to start with a fresh new approach. This is especially true for those of you who were top performers before being promoted to a management position and now find yourself struggling to keep your head above water. Use our handbook to gain valuable strategies, skills and experiences which will allow you to manage more effectively. Feel Inspired, Be Inspiring! Don’t forget to have a little FUN along the way.
