Positive psychology advocates many ideas of optimism, hope, affirmation, strengths-building etc. In times of crisis, post-pandemic era, how can we as leaders bring sync positive psychology with leadership? Are we simply going to be just optimistic without being realistic? Is working on strengths mean that we ignore weaknesses? How do we practise compassion without neglecting business deliverables? Matthew helps us to understand the application and practicability. More importantly, why, as leaders, being vulnerable is the way to connect?
