Think of a person that you have worked with before and who you believe is a positive leader. It is not a good manager who did well what is the norm or what is expected from a good manager, but a great manager who is positively different from the average and does something exceptional from the norm on a regular basis. 

 

Pick a real-life example of when this person demonstrated positive leadership. Please provide a detailed description of this example below. To fully understand the example you provide, you are kindly asked to provide as many details as possible.

 

Bad example:
Sarah is a positive leader because she encourages everyone to be kind.

 

Great example:
Our company works in a very competitive market with very few growth opportunities. When the main way to get a new client is by taking it from someone else, externally or internally, it inevitably creates a dog-eat-dog environment. When Sarah came to lead our sales team, values or virtues were not in our vocabulary. So when, at the end of the year, she introduced an internal kindness competition for our team, everyone was skeptical, to say the least. The task was simple - to complete as many acts of kindness within the company as possible within one week. It didn't take even one day for other teams to ask if they could join the competition. For 3 years, it is now an annual organization-wide competition with more than a thousand participants. Such a simple idea, but it completely transformed how I see our organization now. The same is true for our clients. Many of them mentioned much better client service when switching from our competitors. It would have been great to measure the direct business effect of such a competition. What I know, however, is that internally we divide the company into two periods - before and after this kindness competition initiated by Sarah.
