Illuminate: Harnessing the Positive Power of Negative Thinking

by David M. Corbin

Learn to create a positive work environment by accentuating the positive and illuminating the negative Illuminate argues that we can't create positive work environments without accepting the existence of the negative. Though "positive thinking" has its place in the work world, we can't ignore the negative, whether it be in the form of challenges, problems, limitations, or other negative business realities. In order to foster healthy, functional business, we have to create a culture that allows for open expression and the sharing of ideas- especially when those ideas are negative in nature. The key is that negative situations and conditions should be introduced and dealt with in a strictly positive light. The result is an organization able to look at itself honestly and stay alert to possible threats. A unique kind of business book, Illuminate is written in the style of an allegorical fable that teaches you a three-step process for confronting, examining, and fixing any problem in the office. If your corporate culture can't deal with the negative without creating more negativity, this is the perfect guide for creating and sustaining a culture of positive change.

This book was easy to read and took less then a day to read, and that was with taking a break after each chapter to ponder and think over what I had just read.
Told in a parable or story format. This short and easy book follows the main character of Jon. Accentuate the positive, "illuminate" the negative. To eliminate problems, you have to "illuminate" problems.
