And our management courses
00:00:03

We are we all teach that strength perform but what about this simple new idea that strength do more than perform
00:00:10

They transform so many companies
00:00:12

They think we'll do a low morale survey to document the low morale in order to create a high engagement and highly energetic and passionate, and it's just not going to happen
00:00:25

Why? All the studies in the world of low? Morale will not tell us one thing a lot about what creates the high engagement High commitment work system
00:00:36

Quite appreciative inquiry is doing in the positive psychology at work, that's happening and research that's very sound
00:00:44

It's it's it's reversing that it's staying instead of 80% of our attention on what's wrong, what's broken on depression and someone that leading change is all about strength
00:00:55

That's all, you know, it has nothing to do with weaknesses
00:01:00

When I talked with CEOs and Executives and every industry today, where there's just white-knuckle change where there's a totally unexpected change change for which most of these institutions, and organizations are scarcely prepared and have no
00:01:15

roadmap
00:01:15

So, I think we're living in a time where, where it's imperative to have an eye that can appreciate an eye that can see and surface, the true, The Good, the better, the possible
00:01:29

Everything that brings a set in the strength to his system
00:01:33

So one very important part of appreciative inquiry is a set of theories and tools, and research all about the elevation concentration, connection, creating new combinations and chemistries of strength in a way
00:01:48

It feels more positive institutions that bring our highest human strength to the customer, need to the world and so on
00:01:55

The Drucker school I think is is a very, very fertile place for this kind of thinking because Peter Drucker, he really did feel that management and business and and and and the kind of management that
00:02:12

he was talking about that
00:02:14

It is probably the most positive force in a society
00:02:17

We can't have a non totalitarian Society for example, without freely
00:02:23

Ands, and trustworthy institutions that are creating and following up on their word and creating Value Inn and its management
00:02:32

And managers that do that I sat down with Peter Drucker and he wanted to hear about the theory and practice of appreciative inquiry and the design of more positive institutions that we were working on it
00:02:46

at the end of the day
00:02:47

I said, but Peter, you've written more on management and Leadership than anybody in history, you know
00:02:52

Can you put it in a nutshell? What is the essence of management and Leadership and he said, David that simple and it's ageless and its Essence
00:03:01

He said the task of leadership is to create an alignment of strengths in ways that make a systems weaknesses
00:03:09
