Illuminate instructs readers on how they can create a positive work-life environment by Accentuating the Positive and Illuminating the Negative.’ Although the author acknowledges that positive thinking has its place in work and life,he asserts that it is also crucially important to allow for contemplation, confrontation, and addressing issues and concerns that might be regarded as negative. Such issues might be presented as challenges, problems with products, limitations of skill areas, and negative market trends. In order for businesses to function effectively, they need to create and foster a culture that allows open expression and sharing of ideas, whether those are positive suggestions, or negative observations. Such negative observations, when coached into being offered in a positive light, will allow for open expression and keep the entire organization alert to possible threats.

Follow It: Check out contributing factors, who it involves, how it impacts goals and objectives 3. Fix It: Get to work on either reducing or eliminating the challenge. The books intended audience consists of business supervisors, managers, and leaders as well as those individuals interested in personal and professional development.
