The Application of Cameron's Positive Leadership Model in a New Zealand Law Enforcement Organisation
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: This study explored the implementation of Cameron's (2008) positive leadership model. The model consists of four strategies: fostering a positive climate, developing positive relationships, engaging in positive communication, and reinforcing positive meaning. Two practices were added as adaptions to the model: setting an Everest goal, and conducting personal management interviews. Journals were kept by each leader, and individual interviews were held with leaders and officers to capture their lived experience of implementing the model. Operational data were collected to indicate achievement of the Everest goal. The experience of implementing the model challenged existing leadership practices, but overall it was a valuable exercise, in terms of positively influencing performance.
