             How Do I Build a Positive


                  Work Environment?


                      (Effective Work


                  Culture or Setting)








                         LEADERSHIP POSITIVE
                    WORK ENVIRONMENT CHALLENGE


            Organizations develop unconscious patterns of how work is done
            that, left unattended, may lead to cynicism, disorganization, redun-
            dancy, or lethargy. Great leaders recognize and establish positive
            work environments that inspire employees, meet customer expec-
            tations, and give investors confidence.








                      ow long does it take to get a feel for the atmo-
                      sphere in a work setting you walk into? Think
                      of walking into a doctor’s office, a store, a
                      restaurant, a classroom, or a plant. Within
                      minutes or at most hours you have a pretty
      Hgood sense of what it feels like to work there.
