The positive psychology movement offers principals reference points for reflecting on how they perceive themselves and work with students, staff, and other stakeholders to create the most effective culture and climate for student learning. Significant aspects of positive psychology applicable to principals maximizing job performance and satisfaction are: (a) embracing the challenges of the job with a passion and being energized to successfully meet them; (b) learning from setbacks and adversity at work and not being discouraged; (c) engaging staff and other stakeholders in developing a school’s goals and taking actions to accomplish them; (d) viewing staff as the school’s major asset for improving education for students and helping staff to be their best; (e) focusing on building positive and meaningful relationships with all of a school’s stakeholders; (f) finding fulfillment and excitement in being creative to solve problems and be more productive on the job; and (g) looking beyond oneself to help staff and others find satisfaction and enjoyment in their work, which will ultimately benefit students. Specific components of positive psychology addressed are: emotional intelligence, social intelligence, mindfulness, mindset, optimism and well-being, and strengths management.
