Abstract: Abstract Wellbeing within organizational contexts has become an international research and practice priority. Often, this work focuses on consequences of a lack of wellbeing in the workplace, especially as connected to ongoing improvement and change in work cultures. In this chapter, the authors outline a complementary research approach that highlights and prioritizes a positive organisational approach to leadership. Findings from their research on positive leadership in educational organizations offer examples of the potentials and possibilities for growing cultures of wellbeing through focused attention on that which gives life, creates a sense of purpose, cultivates meaning, awakens passion and engages presence at work. In this chapter, the authors conceptualise leaderful mindsets as an agency for positive change and collective wellbeing, and provide examples for how to build build, nourish and empower this leadership stance through attention to mental health and mindfulness.
