Written by the originators and leaders of the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) movement itself, this short, practical audio guide offers an approach to organizational change based on the possibility of a more desirable future, experience with the whole system, and activities that signal "something different is happening this time." That difference systematically taps the potential of human beings to make themselves, their organizations, and their communities more adaptive and more effective.

In a powerful new vision Dr Brené Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - from revealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.

The Fearless Organization offers practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern economy. With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent, but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind? The traditional culture of "fitting in" and "going along" spells doom in the knowledge economy. Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas, new challenges, and critical thought, and the interpersonal climate must not suppress, silence, ridicule, or intimidate.

Wordy, boring and hard to listen to
What would have made The Power of Appreciative Inquiry better?
Shorten it. Use less BS words and make it easier to listen to. It could easily have been half the length
What was most disappointing about Diana Whitney and Amanda Trosten-Bloom ’s story?
Too many references to corporations. Got the feeling they were trying to build themselves. Took 2 cds to get into the training.
How could the performance have been better?
Much shorter and simpler.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Power of Appreciative Inquiry?
many words could have been removed.
Any additional comments?
none

I would have appreciated in inquiry into a different narrator
Interesting topic but not enough hands on tools. The narration was so mechanical it was distracting. It was like listening to a 1970s computer voice.
