Establishing and maintaining a positive work environment is key to any organization's long-term success. Leaders foster the work atmosphere by conducting things in a way that helps raise people's spirits. Leaders can also help counteract a negative environment by communicating honestly, respecting and supporting others, and maintaining a good attitude themselves. In this course you will learn the benefits of establishing a positive work environment, its characteristics, and some concrete steps you can take to create one. You will explore how to maintain this atmosphere by learning how to recognize the signs and impact of negativity and how to take corrective action. You will also be able to practice through a simulated scenario how to maintain a positive work environment with your employees. This is course number lead_07_a01_bs_enus.
