The idea of management and organisation that has been developed in the days of
industrialisation fails in the light of dynamic social and technological developments. Positive
Psychology and Systemic Thinking induce new concepts: leadership based on power leading and
developing organisational energy using self-organisation. In daily leadership practice these
concepts stand for excellent performance job satisfaction and meaningfulness. The first
part of this book describes the principles of the "revolution in leadership" : The author
presents management-related results models and tools of Positive Psychology and explains the
three principles of integrated work (meaning power impact). On this basis she creates a
suitable image of leadership and develops the principles of Positive Leadership. The
second part addresses the practical implementation of Positive Leadership in real-life
leadership situations and refers in detail to the three central areas of Positive Leadership:
self-management employee management management of organisations. For all three areas the
reader is provided with theoretically substantiated and proven-in-practice management tools.
Additionally many case studies from the work of the author exemplify the amazing effect of
Positive Leadership.
