Overview
We are living in a VUCA world. Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity in the current business climate call for new leadership models and new rules of engagement to navigate the age of artificial intelligence successfully.
We need innovators. We need originators. We need early adopters. We need agile learners. But we also need heart-focused leaders to prime organisations for success in tomorrow’s world.
To survive the future, organisations need to replace the old, fear-based approaches of management that often results in high levels of disengagement and attrition, and embraces instead positive organisational science to optimise the performance of its workforce.
We need to create positive workplaces built on trust, collaboration, growth, support and wellbeing, as these hallmarks of positive psychology have been statistically proven to improve innovation, engagement, productivity, and profitability.
The demands of life are changing every day. The mindsets and behaviours that carried you through yesterday will not be enough to guarantee success tomorrow. Individuals who are nimble, open to change, and who embrace challenges will thrive.
Positive psychology is an emerging branch of applied psychology devoted to the pursuit of optimal levels of human functioning and wellbeing in the context of personal, group and organisational development.
