This is not my field of expertise, but I'm a very positive person! I'm intrigued of which kind of ideas can come up from this question... :)

I think positiveness can make all the difference in whatever ones do. For me, it's about expecting the best and making up for what comes up... Being thankful for all the opportunities presented is crucial, some people recommend Thankful Lists, but I don't write them down. Knowing that there's a good side in every situation is the most important thought for me.

I'll follow up the answers. Thank you for reminding me today to be positive!

Appreciative Inquiry, available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/289530448_Appreciative_Inquiry, makes the point that every organization has something that works right, even if only in small quantities, and that it might be easier to foster organizational effectiveness by focusing on what one wants more of (as opposed to what one wants less of).

Drawing Learning Charters, available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/254583109_Drawing_Learning_Charters, provides examples of what commitments to action an organization and its personnel might make in order to learn for change.

Embracing Failure, available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/254583164_Embracing_Failure, argues that success is a process and failure on the way is an opportunity: successful individuals, groups, and organizations fail well.

On Knowledge Behaviors, available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/266477251_On_Knowledge_Behaviors, lists 16 habits of mind that attend to value, inclination, sensitivity, capability, and commitment—all defined toward behaving intelligently when confronted with problems.

Positive Action is a systematic educational program that promotes an intrinsic interest in learning and encourages cooperation among students. It works by teaching and reinforcing the intuitive philosophy that you feel good about yourself when you do positive actions.

The effects of the program range from increased academic achievement to dramatic reductions in problem behaviors. These results have been replicated in diverse settings and feature the most rigorous efficacy study designs available.

For more than 30 years, Positive Action has been helping educators around-the-world create positive learning environments for their students. Imagine what Positive Action could do for your students!

Dears,

"Positive action" in the perspective of education is ideal and good, but its application requires a specific precondition, among others, the students have the optimistic attitude, confidence, positive thinking, teamwork, and academic responsibility. Therefore, teachers must first prepare the necessary prerequisites, before implementing "positive action" in teaching and learning.

Look up Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. There are numerous books and websites. It's oriented toward behavior management for schools, but the application can be expanded well beyond. It is evidence-based...

Start with leadership to set the culture to be positive. I like the ideas discussed above and have used Appreciative Inquiry to begin knowledge management programs by building on the "good stuff". but unfortunately it will all go away if leadership isn't engaged in creating and enabling a positive atmosphere. 

Yes dear Lorri , I agree with you.

I suggest you also look into the notion of mindfulness. See for example our case study of a large US-based retailer, that sought to (mindfully) engage all its employees and managers.

As i feel soft skill implementation is necessary to inculcate positivism.some gratitude tips like saying thank you in your communication and grateful to your job and work would boost happiness among employees 

I have used "Appreciative Inquiry (AI)" as a tool in several organizations, and followed it up with several initiatives:

1. Many of the stories captured from people during AI sessions can be retold/ published for internal circulation, and gradually become part of the internal folklore of a company. Every organization needs a cache of positive stories.

2. An analysis of key words, phrases and stories used during AI can lead to conclusions of "What should we do more of as a company?" This leads to an agenda being drawn up with a positive frame of mind. Also, since the agenda is drawn up from people's stories, it is seen as an inclusive and engaging exercise.

3. AI is also a powerful change-management tool. Done periodically, you can gradually supplant the old stories in an organization with newer ones more in congruence with company values and objectives. You can thus change conversations within a company.

We also have a 'Recognition Program' and it helps up to certain level but I think the employees need a boost about themselves,  we used to play this game which is my favorite, and the way it works is that everyone in a room has to say something positive, or something that they have learned from the other person, and my takeaway from that game was, astonishment and a sense of pride,  there was one person who I always thought did not like me, and when she passed a very positive remark for me, it boosted my self confidence, and it is always said that when a person feels good about himself, he will do anything and will go above and beyond. 

So before starting any meeting, have each member of the team share something positive that someone else in the room has done that they have noticed.  People love 'praise' especially when it is least expected.

Recognize and applaud people in front of everyone rather than one on one.

Take time to discover people's strength and compliment them on a regular basis. Praise and Encouragement builds confidence and in return creates more positive energy, which also can become a 'domino effect' in an Organization.

Hi , in my opinion ,1- make a list of positive traits and strengthen their own. 2-Make a list of negative things ourselves and deal with it. 3-Pursuit in life that they have more hope of success. 4-According to the slogan awill. .

Hassan,

Your improvement program sounds good, but I would just add a word of caution. 'Positivity' needs to be balanced and grounded in people's experiences for it to be 'effective'. If positivity becomes excessive and disconnected from people's realities - a kind of ideology - (e.g. 2008 Financial Crisis), it can produce unintended and counter-productive consequences - ironically, this in turn can prompt the very negativity, skepticism and disillusion you are trying to eliminate. Balance is really important in motivational programs. So is encouraging people to think in critical and questioning ways. 

Please see, for example, my papers attached on 'prozac leadership'.

Good luck with your work,

David

I apprecite the above comments. In my views if we want to develop positivity, we need to imbibe it first in the leaders. Train them to be role models for others, exhibit service orientation to make subordinates service oriented. Above all they must consider each individual as a unique one capable of generating value for the organisation. So the positivity will flow from leaders to subordinates. Further intrinsic as well extrinsic incentives also help to generate motivation among the employees.
