Psychological capital (PsyCap) is a research-backed psychological resource that can improve individual as well as team workplace performance, well-being, and adaptability. Composed of four key components: hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism (HERO), PsyCap is rooted in positive psychology and has been shown to create benefits that extend beyond the individual.
In this ecourse, you will start building foundational knowledge of PsyCap, work through individual application exercises, and then explore and plan leadership behaviors that drive team performance and well-being. You will reflect on PsyCap-informed leadership practices to foster your team’s confidence, resilience, motivation, and performance, while supporting employees through setbacks, change, and uncertainty. By the end of the course, you will have an action plan to apply PsyCap principles and practices to enhance your own effectiveness and create the conditions for others to thrive.
One of the most compelling findings about PsyCap is that it can be contagious. As leaders strengthen and model PsyCap, they can positively influence how their teams approach goals, setbacks, change, and success. Whether you’re leading a small team or a large organization, this course provides the knowledge, tools, and leadership action plan to develop a High PsyCap Team™ that can perform, adapt, and thrive in a changing workplace.
