(Chapter 5). -What unique approaches can you follow to achieve high levels of performance? And how can you return to those high levels after you or your team experience an intense, negative event or crisis? (Chapter 6). -What can you do as leader to create the best team culture, one noted for creativity, effective interpersonal functioning, and achievement? (Chapter 7). -What specific approaches can you apply to manage the inevitable conflicts, keeping the team task focused? (Chapter 8). -Learn to apply tangible approaches from neuroscience and mindfulness to function at your best while maintaining balance in life (Mike Mombrea, MA, MFT). -Discover leadership lessons from a leader who has worked in many settings. Learn what 43 other successful leaders said are key leadership attributes they have noticed over their careers. (Larry Butler, MA. MFT). -How can positive psychology help leaders develop?
