Positive Psychology has been one of the most influential schools of thoughts in recent times in the field of mental health, and has been equally popular in the realms of people management. Moving away from the curative/preventive stance, positive psychology focuses on what is functional in a person, and builds on that to build overall efficacy. In The Joy of Leadership, Tal Ben-Shahar & Angus Ridgway, leadership coaches and founders at Potentialife, connect the tenets of positive psychology to leadership, and speak on how to be effective at leading others by making the best of oneself.
