Being positive all of the time isn’t always helpful to the people that we lead. Called Toxic Positivity, this kind of hyped up happiness can actually harm productivity and become a negative influence on a leader’s relationship with their team.

In episode 403 of the Amplify Your Success podcast, host Melanie Benson and leadership communications expert (and graduate of $100k Authority Accelerator) Pamela Jett delve into the meaning of toxic positivity and its detrimental impact on leadership and team dynamics. 

They explore an alternative approach for more effective and trustworthy leadership, being relentlessly positive, to maintain a future-focused, optimistic outlook while acknowledging real challenges and seeking appropriate resources within the team for improvement.

Pamela shares valuable insights on the power of language and communication in driving positive decisions, engagement, and results. She emphasizes the significance of creating psychological safety through feedback and disciplinary conversations, so that even challenging conversations become instrumentally constructive. 

After listening in, you’ll be able to differentiate toxic positivity from being relentlessly positive and use practical strategies for fostering an authentically positive and supportive workplace environment.
