Definition

  • Hope is a positive motivational construct that is related to effective goal attainments in a variety of life arenas—one of which is leadership. In this regard, hope (as defined by clinical psychologist C. R. Snyder [2002]) is a pattern of thinking in which the person has clearly defined goals, along with the perceived ability to identify effective strategies for attaining those goals (called pathways thinking) and the motivation to implement those strategies (called agency thinking).
