Positive Intelligence: Why Only 20% of Teams and Individuals Achieve Their True Potential and How You Can Achieve Yours by Shirzad Chamine
4.0
3.6
I appreciated the first half of the book more then the later half.
The reflection of your own ‚Saboteurs‘ in the beginning definitely got me thinking, and I have noticed that I can now see them in my daily life and call them out on their BS. It gives light to that all of our thinking is not the truth!
In addition to that, I loved the sage power explanations, pq practices and the „Stallion Story“ about perspectives continuously rings in my ears!
In the later half, while I understand it was to validate his theory and being his point across practically, I found it too repetitive and borderline eye rollingly infuriating.
All the case studies were in a similar format! Here is a CEO that didn’t believe in PQ but agreed to do the reps, then saw change and got their team to do the same, and then it goes on how the team follows the guidelines of the sage powers etc etc and I probably am exaggerating, but I felt like there were 10 case following these same lines. It didn’t feel relatable to me (even though the says it is the same principle in personal life), I still felt the examples felt distant.
