THE INSTITUTE OF INTERNAL AUDITORS DETROIT CHAPTER
OCTOBER VIRTUAL MEETING
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2021
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM EST
1.5 CPE Credits
The Power of Positivity on Culture
and Team Performance
Kim Cameron will lead a discussion and presentation on the power of positivity and its positive effects on individuals, teams and organizations as a whole. Kim will present various concepts and topics included in his research over the years. His current research focuses on virtuousness in and of organizations--such as forgiveness, gratitude, kindness, and compassion--and their relationship to performance. Kim Cameron became interested in Positive Organizational Scholarship as a result of a decade of studying the consequences of organizational downsizing. Organizations characterized by virtuous practices—for example, forgiveness, compassion, integrity, trust, optimism, kindness—tended to avoid the declining performance associated with downsizing. Observing this effect led to a variety of empirical studies on the effects of positive leadership and organizational virtuousness on organizational performance.
During this session, Kim will present several use cases, scenarios and thought-provoking questions of the audience. This session will help all members better understand the power of positivity and how it can be leveraged to optimize the value of the internal auditor.
