In this weeks episode Rachael and John chat about how it feels when you're told to be positive all the time; ignoring the real issues at our peril in the tyranny of positivity.

Our Leadership Essentials:

1. Is positivity really the opposite of negativity? Are you sidelining those people who might come across as negative, and promoting those who just say the right things.
2. Are you sometimes guilty of using positivity as a "sticking plaster" for avoiding difficult issues?
3. Is your over positive style meaning you might be contributing to the problem by creating undiscussable issues for your people?

In The Coaching Approach George has uncovered some worrying behaviours in his Senior Leadership Team; he starts to think that he may be contributing to the problem - looks like he's going back to the floor.
