A good read I think that AI gives an interesting view of the change process. This book concisely outlines these ideas.
the thin book of appreciative inquiry Great book! Although there was nothing in it that I didn't know, it is always great to become more consious of what you're already doing.
Quick way to change your thinking I am an avid reader and work in a field where I interact with a wide variety of people - professionals and not, complete spectrum of personalities. I have heard and seen things suggesting that we look at the positive, rather than always trying to identify the problem. This concise book gives you the method to do just that, clean and simple.
Excellent Primer For those that are just beginning their quest of appreciative inquiry - this is a great primer. Good text to share with employees prior to the beginning of a organization orientation.
Raises an interesting idea This book was a required text for one of my graduate school classes. The refreshing thing about it is that it's a quick read and very easy to understand. Hammond raises the very interesting idea that instead of looking at problems from a "how do we remedy our weaknesses" standpoint, she offers that we should capitalize on our strengths. We should figure out what we do well, and then work through our strengths to improve our performance and organizational environment. That's really as far as you need to go with this book. Hammond's explanation of her theory is extremely common sense. If you're still unsure how her theory could be applied in or impact the workplace, perhaps you should read this book. Otherwise, you could probably just use your imagination.
