Positive leadership is an evidence-based, proven approach to leading effective teams and organisations. Based on the ground breaking and affirmative insights of positive psychology, positive leaders see positive potential and facilitate “positive deviance” or sustainable high performance.
Positive leaders foster a positive culture at work, which is focused on strength-based, resilience innovation and agility to weather the VUCA climate. Research proves that a positive mind-set results in 31% higher levels of productivity.

The Positive Leader approach can be nurtured and catalysed to create happier and inspirational leaders, that in turn create powerful and effective teams.
