Paradigm is defined by Kuhn as a scientific achievement which is universally recognised in a given period of time by researchers belonging to a scientific discipline and which provides them with model problems and solutions. As regards management studies there is a debate whether this discipline is still in the pre-paradigm period of its development or it can be perceived as a multi-paradigm field. Making an assumption that there are paradigms in management studies, the statement that leadership is a key factor of the success of an organisation can be recognised as a canon. Recently, along with the development of Positive Organisational Scholarship, the concept of positive leadership has been emerging. The aim of the paper is to consider whether the concept of positive leadership can become a paradigm in management studies.
