In this second part of our two-part episode, Ashish Kothari and Kim Cameron, Professor and Co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship at The University of Michigan, dig deeper into the impact of positive leadership and how small, intentional actions can drive real results by showing people they matter.
