Appreciative Leadership Workshop
Course description
While traditional leadership focuses on problems, appreciative leadership focuses on potential, improves organizations and individuals by discovering what works well and getting more out of them. Appreciative leadership aims at getting the best out of people who are engaged in a system or a situation.
When negativity can seem overwhelming, the positive approach of Appreciative Inquiry offers tools and perspectives to meet increasing demands. It also provides preparations for post-crisis situations.
Methodology

Its applications include: Strategic planning, Vision-Values-Culture articulation and cascade, leadership and team excellence, coaching, employee engagement, and alliance integration.
