Positive Leadership
Developing potential through a strengths-based approach
- What is the influence of my personal leadership style on the well-being and efficiency of my employees?
- How do I promote a quality of cooperation which allows my employees to perform at a high level?
- What if I enabled my employees to develop their strengths and talents?
What is it that makes companies successful? And what keeps employees motivated, engaged and healthy?
Answers to these questions can be found in the positive leadership approach, which is based on the psychology of successful work and life design (positive psychology). In contrast to the more deficit-oriented classical approaches, Positive Leadership relies on a consistently strength-oriented and potential-creating basic attitude.
Positive leadership creates an environment in which people flourish, develop their potential and find meaning in their work. This is of growing importance in dealing with the opportunities and challenges of New Work.
Positive Leadership has been shown to improve employees' emotional well-being, learning, engagement, and creativity. At the organizational level, the effects can be seen in a good working atmosphere, increased productivity and a positive influence on the corporate culture, among other things.
In individual coaching or in workshops with the entire management team, we not only consider tangible implementation options, but also the mindset behind Positive Leadership.

Positive Leadership
Ruth Seliger beschreibt den Paradigmenwechsel von der klassischen Management-Kultur hin zum Positive Leadership. Dahinter verbirgt sich der Ansatz, dass eine wertschätzende und stärkenbasierte Führungsarbeit organisationale Kräfte freisetzt, die in traditionell geführten Unternehmen ungenutzt bleiben.
Das Buch enthält neben den theoretischen Grundlagen eine Vielzahl an praxisorientierten Methoden und Leitfragen, die Führungskräfte unmittelbar einsetzen können.
