Positive Organisational Development Cards

This pack contains twenty A6 sized action cards that have been designed to help leaders and managers understand and implement the key new ideas coming through from the field of positive psychology. Covering the core topics - such as Positive Emotions, Strengths, Engagement and Flourishing - they also introduce less well known yet equally powerful ideas such as Positive Energy Networks, The Abundance Bridge and Psychological Capital.

Each card introduces a new idea with a few well-chosen words and a memorable strap-line. On the reverse side are carefully composed questions to stimulate discussion and selected pointers for action.
