Expanding the Limits of Positive Leadership into the World of Higher Education

Abstract

Given the success that Positive Leadership has brought along in so many organizations of different nature, it seems clear that there might also be an opportunity for it to contribute to Higher Education in a valuable manner. This article describes how a group of professors from a Higher Education institution in Spain transferred the Positive Leadership principles to the teaching-learning process, with the expectation that it would improve academic performance, student satisfaction with faculty and the engagement of the faculty members themselves.
