Abstract
A central feature of positive psychology coaching is identifying and developing individual strengths (Linley, Woolston & Biswas-Diener, 2009; Peterson & Seligman, 2004; Snyder & Lopez, 2009). Although positive psychology coaching (PPC) has been shown to improve management effectiveness (Evers, Brouwers & Tomic, 2006) and productivity (Olivero, Bane & Kopelman, 1997) as well as increasing flourishing (Grant, 2007), limitations of PPC have been an avoidance of the ‘dark sides’ of people which have been shown to impede healthy interpersonal relationships, learning and growth (Nelson & Hogan, 2009). There is also evidence that leaders may already be playing to their strengths in excess to the detriment of their team, with these ‘lopsided’ leaders being at risk of derailing rather than bringing positive outcomes (Kaiser & Overfield, 2011). Thus, leaders in senior positions may need to learn to identify risks in overplaying their strengths, regulate them and even downplay them in certain situations.
