Positive Leadership: The Art of Making a Difference

Much of the leadership we encounter may be regarded as negative leadership: It's more about solving problems than it is about building on opportunities. Positive leadership,, which draws on several key principles of positive psychology, seeks to use positive interventions that capitalize on what's working, not what's broken. In this course, students will learn fundamental principles that can be applied to any leadership situation, now matter whether that situation involves a formal leadership title or an informal leadership role. They will learn why positive leadership can actually be far more effective than many of the leadership and management strategies commonly taught.
