We are excited to share that Warwick Law School’s Professor Jane Bryan has been listed as one of the 21 official winners of the 2nd edition of the Positive Leadership Awards.

Launched by the Positive Leadership Institute, the international awards seek to highlight the unsustainability of traditional approaches to management and change the conversation towards positive management practices. By collecting and disseminating the best practices of positive leadership as well as by putting positive leaders into the deserved spotlight, the awards aim to set the “new normal” of the management world.

This year’s awards received 7,399 nominations from 18 countries across five continents, with 21 making the winners list. Only those who have demonstrated inspiring examples of cultivating psychological safety, trust, autonomy, mastery, and shared mission in their teams made the final grade.
