Abstract
This chapter presents an empirical study using a qualitative research process through semi-structured interviews to interview 20 managers working full-time in large organizations, assessing the manifestation of flow and grit and measuring the role of resilience in the manifestation. They practiced meditation daily, which was used as a facilitator of positivity. It indicated that mind training, such as meditation, makes it easier to augment resilience while developing grit and flow, imbibing positivity in the process. From the pattern of interview findings, the grit-flow questionnaire was developed. The questionnaire is significant as a practical application in assessing whether leaders' or potential leaders' people management capability has positive leadership or can develop positivity and the effectiveness of wellbeing and health enhancement programs to develop or measure positivity. This questionnaire adds to research and analysis of grit, flow, resilience, and positive psychology on the whole and their relationships.
