Ebook: Appreciative Leadership: Delivering Difference through Conversation and Inquiry: The story of a journey to embed values and change culture

Appreciative Leadership: Delivering Difference Through Conversation and Inquiry gives the reader a window on how Appreciative Inquiry, Generative Conversations, and Action Research were used to change culture in a UK healthcare system.What makes this book unique is the collaboration between the organisation and the consultancy firm.In the book, Heather Tierney- Moore, CEO of Lancashire Care Foundation Trust, and Fiona MacNeill, Founding Director of Fiona MacNeill Associates, explore their experience of designing and developing an Appreciative Leadership programme in order to embed the organisation's values in language, behaviour and practice.Their journey of discovery is clearly articulated with learning points for the reader at each stage: from inception, to delivery, and then to evaluation and sustainability.Thought provoking, honest, practical and inspiring, this book is a useful reference for anyone thinking about an appreciative approach to cultural change and organisational development.
