This thought-provoking Research Agenda explores the evolving field of positive leadership through the lens of dynamic balancing, the method of managing opposing forces to attain organizational or societal goals. Renowned experts in the field present fresh perspectives on how positive leadership functions across areas including coaching, cultural diversity, and organizational design.

Blending insights from multiple disciplines, authors provide a rich understanding of leadership that acknowledges its strengths and challenges. They present a novel conceptualization of dynamic balancing as a force that embraces the Yin and Yang of organizational elements. Chapters discuss empirical investigations of leadership, how a balancing approach can be utilized, and the importance of inclusive leadership. Ultimately, contributors define positive leadership as the successful interweaving of paradoxical forces to generate profitable business outcomes.

Crafting an explicit agenda for future research alongside practical knowledge, this book is an essential resource for scholars and students of leadership development, human resource management, and organizational behavior. It is also invaluable to HR professionals and those in management.
