A military application of Appreciative Intelligence

a short follow-up on previous postings about Appreciative Intelligence

two of the fathers of my players have been selected for battalion command and we had a discussion this weekend after the game about the use of appreciative inquiry and positive coaching when it comes to team building.

I have a lot of respect for the professionalism of both of these officers and they can clearly see how a positivist approach using appreciative intelligence can help them building their staff and command team into a high-performance leadership team. It was interesting to see the connection between coaching techniques for 11-year-old girls allying with a military leadership model.

I think there’s a lot of gold in this mine
