Positive Psychology (PP) can be defined as the science and practice of well-being. The science of PP has been well validated and can lead to a 30% increase in sales, predict 71% of employee engagement, or 65% of job satisfaction. The practice of PP is a developmental process with three steps, called the "3A Process." Successful leaders need to assess their strengths, take constructive actions, and model accountability. Leaders practice leadership, just as CFOs practice accounting. A critical question for business leaders is: How can you operationalize the new scientific findings in positive psychology emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment (PERMA) in your business outcomes?
You know the adage: Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.
