Abstract

The concept of positive organizations is gaining traction among both scholars and practitioners. Recent developments by scholars include the publication of Positive Organizational Scholarship and Positive Leadership. The application of positive scholarship is elaborated on by Whole Foods’ CEO John Mackey in his book on Conscious Capitalism. The Container Store’s CEO, Kip Tindell describes similar practices in his book, Uncontainable. In this chapter, I review the core elements of positive organizational scholarship (POS). Then, I discuss servant leadership as the critical catalyst for developing these positive organizations. Finally, I present an integration of servant leadership with the tenets of POS by examining three exemplary organizations: TDIndustries, Whole Foods, and The Container Store.
