The Appreciative Leader
Appreciative Inquiry is a powerful organizational development tool for workplaces, classrooms, communities
and families. Appreciative Inquiry (AI) focuses on that which is already working well (appreciative) by engaging people
in asking questions and telling stories (inquiry). This strengths-based, positive approach to change represents a 180 degree shift way from deficit based, problem- oriented, gap analysis approach in many of our organizations. This shift to a positive focus stimulates creativity and vibrancy within each person and the whole group accelerating deep, sustainable change
with ease.

let alone re-read the map. Organizations can waste a great deal of time, energy and resources solving the wrong problems or putting out fires, resulting in a culture of coping as opposed to a culture of thriving and regenerative growth.
