Book Review - Building Resilience with Appreciative Inquiry: A Leadership Journey through Hope, Despair, and Forgiveness

Building Resilience with Appreciative Inquiry: A Leadership Journey through Hope, Despair, and Forgiveness



About the Book

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.



My Take on the Book
Resiliency is something that is not always easy to have in your life, but it is something that will help you to attain quality relationships, a healthy life and success in your professional life. The authors in this book give you very tangible tips that you will be able to incorporate into your daily life. I found that you can easily try out the ideas shared by the authors right away and start to see real results show up right away. The book is made for a practitioner and it allows you to use it personally or even to start to use as a teacher to others. If you are trying to learn more about appreciative inquiry this is the right book for you!
