\"Its
It’s time for us to create a two-way dialogue about goodness. Will you start by sharing: What leaders do you know who radiate goodness and why?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last week, I announced a significant change in this blog. We need your help in writing the next book, Goodness Pays<\/em>. You can help by providing\u00a0proof statements from your point of view\u00a0<\/em>that demonstrate how goodness pays in leadership today. My promise is to share your examples to help the conversation grow.<\/p>\n

Off to a good start<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a great example: My American Business Journal column <\/a>next week is about a terrific, small printing company: The MPX Group. Since joining the Good Leadership tribe five years ago, they adopted the mission of spreading goodness.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

That led to a Goodness Committee, who is carrying out a customer and community-centric strategy of\u00a0rewarding excellence, living generously, promoting fairness\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0spreading positivity.\u00a0<\/em>While other printers are shrinking, MPX is growing! As the signage here indicates, COO Scott DuRoche is building a culture of catching people doing good things, and rewarding that goodness.<\/p>\n

\"This
This special parking spot at MPX is reserved for employees who are caught doing good things. The company is growing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That’s a proof statement worthy of mention in a best-selling book.<\/p>\n

Here’s another:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A woman who we will call “Sarah” sent this note in response to my blog:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy current CEO is my fourth boss. The previous three only gave me serious attention when I did something wrong. I left all three jobs for the same reason: the culture was mostly punitive, and it didn\u2019t make me want to perform better.<\/p>\n

\"Goodness
Please share your insights so you can help us help you!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cNow, with my current leader, I am realizing how wonderful it is to have my leader be a coach. He\u2019s insightful about my personal and professional goals. He helps me know how I fit and that my work matters, and he provides just the right encouragement and challenges that lift my desire to perform at a whole new level. Not only do I love being accountable for myself, but I feel a great sense of pride in hitting my goals for the team <\/em>as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

This testimony makes me want to work that that CEO. How about you?<\/p>\n

We are off to a good start. Please consider: Who do you know who is a good leader that radiates goodness?<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Your insights will shape the research, spark ideas for this blog, and possibly end up in the book Goodness Pays<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Will you help?<\/p>\n
