What Does The Research Say About Positive Leadership, Culture, and Teams In Education?

Research shows that culture and leadership greatly influence a school’s learning environment and students’ academic success. A positive culture creates an environment where the teachers and staff want to be there, are able to give more of themselves and teach to the best of their ability.

A positive culture goes beyond just the physical nature of the school and resources inside of it (Fox, 2014). Another element includes the way people interact with each other permeates the working and learning conditions inside the school (Fox, 2014). Relationships are an integral part to defining school culture.
A positive school culture develops teachers and administrators into individuals who want to actively talk and work with others (Guo, 2012).
A connected teacher, whether it be toward others or themselves, will be more committed to their profession (Thapa et. al)
In a study by Guo (2012), data from 12 middle schools revealed teachers who had strong relationships with each other and their administrators were on a positive path to a better school culture. Researchers saw relationships as a driving force to real, positive school change by collecting interviews and other data.
When school administrators implement sustainable professional development, teachers & staff believe they are working toward a purpose. Their work effort rises to between 85% and 90% of their abilities. (Rodda, 1997).
Positive leaders are able to make better decisions under pressure (Institute of HeartMath, 2012).
Positive people are able to maintain a broader perspective and see the big picture, which helps them identify solutions, whereas negative people maintain a narrower perspective and tend to focus on problems (Fredrickson, 2009).
Positive people who regularly express positive emotions are more resilient when facing stress, challenges, and adversity. (Department of Psychology, Boston College - Michele M. Tugade and Barbara L. Fredrickson)
