Synopsis

Journey through hope, despair, and forgiveness

Leaders cannot predict the complex challenges they are called on to face. Veteran consultants Joan McArthur-Blair and Jeanie Cockell show that Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is an invaluable tool to build resilience.

AI is a widely used change approach that emphasizes identifying what''s working well in a system. Leaders can use AI to increase their ability to weather the storms they''ll inevitably encounter and be resilient. A profound guide, this book features personal accounts from leaders across a variety of settings describing how they''ve practiced appreciative resilience in the ongoing cycle of hope, despair, and forgiveness.
