Appreciative Inquiry Management

Appreciative Inquiry focuses on the strengths of the people under management and forms processes around those strengths. This is the opposite of the conventional practices which look for deficits and seek to strengthen the skill of individuals to fulfill the deficits. The deficit focus drives negative comments which drives lower morale and turnover. A positive focus drives process changes around the good skills sets which the people possess.

Appreciative Inquiry Management, though simple in theory, is difficult to manage as it requires a shift in mindset often unattainable without coaching and feedback. It requires a strong willingness to change processes based upon the skill of the individuals within the organization. Without an agreement to provide feedback with the assumption of good intent, it is impossible to implement.

Description:

In almost every field, from engineering to sales, the transition from practitioner to leader poses a particular challenge: Refocusing individual identity to encompass the success of a team rather than relying purely upon technical prowess.  No matter how many examples we see of unparalleled experts in their field whose teams perpetually flounder, when the time comes for our own transitions, learning to base our pride around an entirely new set of metrics remains a universal challenge.  But there is good news!  With a slight shift in perspective, the exact same skills that led to technical prowess can be used to build and support world-class teams.
