Leading Positive Change through Appreciative Inquiry (Coursera)

Appreciative Inquiry is a collaborative and constructive inquiry process that searches for everything that gives life to organizations, communities, and larger human systems when they are most alive, effective, creative and healthy in their interconnected ecology of relationships. To appreciate, quite simply, means to value and to recognize that which has value—it is a way of knowing and valuing the best in life. In the language of Positive Organizational Scholarship it means a research focus—a positive bias—seeking fresh understanding of dynamics described by words like excellence, thriving, abundance, resilience, or exceptional and life-giving.

How to use and impliment change to improve your life (Skillshare)

I was a man, in my twenties at the edge of self-destruction. I was heading straight to laying face down in a gutter somewhere in a few years if I didn't change my life. That was the sad fact of things. It didn't strike me that this was the case until I had once again, chucked my job and any sort of social life I had down the toilet. And that sparked me wanting to make the changes to my life that I needed to make - don't wait until something drastic is happen, don't make the mistake that I did and change only at my lowest point.

To help leaders to be rigorous even without figures, great philosophers have lots of ideas. Managers are invited to rediscover the art of thinking. They should understand the role of mental models, realize the importance of cognitive bias, agree on clear definitions and efficient criteria etc. Creativity demands the ability to unshackle ourselves from conventional ways of thinking, to "think outside the box".
