Its application in the face of crises and changes

The figure of positive leadership is essential for the adaptation to the changes that are required in the current situation affected by the Coronavirus. For this purpose to be achieved, some companies have initiated development programs based on this based on this approach to generate well-being in areas of their employees' lives.
