Margaret (front/center next to Dr. Marty Seligman) graduated in May 2006 from the University of Pennsylvania with a Master of Applied Positive Psychology - the first graduate program of its kind that focuses on what's right about organizations and the people in them. Her thesis study, "Optimistic Managers and Their Influence on Productivity and Employee Engagement in at Technology Organization" (The article begins on page 78. In addition, editorial comments can be found on pages 7 and 101.) appears in the April 2007 issue of the International Coaching Psychology Review - a publication that focuses on the theory, practice and research in the field of coaching. Her research findings also appear in two Gallup Management Journal articles:

• May 10, 2007 "The Business Benefits of Positive Leadership: Finding the Connection Between Productivity & Positive Management Behavior"
• August 9, 2007 "It Pays to Be Optimistic: Exploring the Connection Between Optimism and Business Success"

NEW TOPIC: Positive Strengths-Based Leadership

While the approach to any given consulting engagement will vary based on the needs of the client, the work of The Greenberg Group is guided by these core principles:

• The organization - has expertise and knowledge that can be leveraged
• The team - can create real breakthroughs via open and candid dialogue
• The individual - learns more through self-discovery than a consultant administering advice
