The Thin Book of Appreciative Inquiry

Sue Annis Hammond

Why I recommend it

This introduces a way to approach change by asking what’s already working. That can help a tired or stuck group find somewhere to begin.

What it changed in my thinking

The questions we ask shape what people notice. Studying strengths can reveal possibilities we missed.

Who it’s useful for

Coaches, facilitators, and managers.

A tension or limitation

Looking for what’s good shouldn’t silence what’s wrong. Harm and conflict still need to be named.
