Strategies for Harnessing the Power of Positive Psychology in Leadership
Positive psychology is a field of study that emphasizes the importance of focusing on people's strengths, well-being, and potential for growth, rather than solely on their weaknesses or problems.

Focusing on employees' strengths and talents rather than weaknesses
Fostering a culture of appreciation, recognition, and positivity
Encouraging a growth mindset and supporting professional development
