Abstract

Positive Leadership constitutes a very interesting way to approach organizations functioning and management, which has produced extraordinary results in numerous companies.

The research is conducted with a mixed methods approach, contemplating both students and faculty as the source of quantitative and qualitative Information. The evidence collected during this experience indicate that the instructors were able to generate a very favorable learning environment, and highly positive interactions that originated high satisfaction and excellent academic results.
