This article explores the application of positive psychology in school leadership and proposes strategies to leverage the character strengths of school leaders. Positive psychology emphasizes enhancing individual well-being, happiness, and a meaningful life, providing school leaders with new perspectives and methods for leadership. The study highlights the importance of character strengths in education—not only in aiding students’academic achievement but also in promoting their holistic de-velopment. It examines six virtues—wisdom and knowledge, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence—and their associ¬ated twenty-four character strengths. The research suggests that school leaders can use character strength assessment tools to understand their own strengths and enhance their competencies using open education¬al resources. Additionally, schools should help members recognize and discover their character strengths, forming complementary character strength teams. Leaders should exemplify character strengths and en¬courage school members to utilize their own strengths, collaboratively creating a positive character strength culture. Finally, the study empha¬sizes the importance of establishing a positive school culture based on character strengths. This culture not only supports individual growth, development, and the pursuit of excellence but also fosters overall school harmony, prosperity, and well-being, ensuring the sustainable develop¬ment of a positive character strength school culture.
