Lewis, “Really great moral teachers never do introduce new moralities: It is quacks and cranks who do that.” In other words, the concepts of management that we read in this and Gordon’s other books, The Energy Bus, The Positive Dog, and The No Complaining Rule: Positive Ways to Deal With Negativity at Work, are not new or revolutionary, but they are worth remembering. The books are chock-full of examples of how positive thinking impacts our roles as leaders.
