For senior adviser Kathryn Cramer, author of Lead Positive: What Highly Effective Leaders See, Say, and Do, the best way to inspire followers is to focus on the positive. Cramer developed a methodology called Asset-Based Thinking (ABT) based on this message of positive thinking, and describes in her book how leaders:

? see the positive in the past, present and future;

? say the positive with communications with substance, enthusiasm and soul;

? do the positive by responding with intention (not reacting), using their qualities and driving

positive change over the long term.

The see-say-do framework is at the heart of Cramer’s Asset-Based Thinking methodology, which offers a comprehensive framework for leaders to respond to a wide variety of challenges and situations. In Lead Positive, Cramer describes a range of ABT techniques and guidelines for applying the framework.

The “force field analysis”, for example, is a technique used to learn from a past situation that successfully worked, and is built around four questions:

? “What forces were working for us?” With this question, you should identify five positive,

promoting forces, Cramer writes.

? “What forces were working against us?” This question should lead to one or two negative

forces.

? “What did we do to use the promoting forces and eliminate or sidestep the negative forces?” ? “What behavior do we want to repeat and knowledge do we want to carry forward? Which

situational assets do we want to recreate, and which situational traps must we avoid?”

These questions will give the leader and his or her team a clear memory of how they used positive “situational forces” and overcame negative ones to achieve success. Cramer’s force field analysis is both informational and inspiring.

One of the recurring (一再出现) approaches in Cramer’s ABT methodology is the

Self-Other-Situation framework, in which leaders take into account themselves, others and the situation in question. For example, to help leaders “see” the positive in the present, Cramer writes that they need to consider what makes them feel strong and capable, how they develop meaningful connections with other people, and what gives them a sense of progress or achievement .
