For us at hrdiamonds, positive leadership is not a trend, but an attitude. It is an approach that understands leadership not only as the management of processes, but also as the conscious shaping of relationships, meaning, and motivation. This is precisely where the PERMA-Lead ® model comes in, developed by Prof. Dr. Markus Ebner and based on Martin Seligman's positive psychology.
The five dimensions of PERMA
𝗣 – 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Joy, confidence and gratitude strengthen motivation
𝗘 – 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Using strengths, experiencing flow, and losing onself in the activity
𝗥 – 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀: Trusting relationships as the foundation of successful collaboration
𝗠 – 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Experiencing meaning and understanding the value of one's own work
𝗔 – 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Feeling progress, celebrating successes, experiencing self-efficacy
PERMA-Lead® expands this model to include key aspects of good leadership and highlights how managers can specifically strengthen well-being in their teams.
Why we at hrdiamonds work with this approach
We have been using PERMA-Lead® successfully and with complete confidence for many years. Our psychologists and consultants are enthusiastic about the PERMA-Lead® approach and positive psychology. They not only integrate these into seminars, management workshops, and training courses, but also live them in their everyday lives. The large number of PERMA-Lead® certifications held by our consultants underscores our expertise. Together, we work to strengthen strengths, build resilience, and make leadership people-oriented, sustainable, and effective.
The bottom line
We are convinced that leadership begins with promoting people's strengths and satisfaction, and that this is not a side issue, but the foundation for sustainable success. People who know their strengths, are resilient, and find meaning in their work are not only more productive, but also create a healthier and more humane work environment. That's why PERMA-Lead® is much more than a tool for us; it's an attitude that we live and share.
