“In organisation’s, real power and energy is generated through relationships. The patterns of relationships and the capacities to form them are more important than tasks, functions, roles, and positions.”

- Margaret Wheatly, Leadership and the New Science

Leadership is not so much about technique & methods as it is about opening the heart.

Leadership is about inspiration - of oneself and of others.

- Lance Secretan

5 AI Principles

1. Constructionist: We live in worlds our questions create. Knowledge and org destiny are interwoven. We see the world we describe.

2. Simultaneity: Change begins at the moment you ask the first question.

3. Anticipatory: Deep change occurs first in our images of the future

4. Positive: The more positive the question, the greater and longer-lasting the change.


AI Evidence

• When organizations or groups capture positive imagery internally and make it visible, it starts to drive change in an individualistic, self-directed way. It creates a sense of focus.

Our image of thefuture drives our

ACTION!

Placebo EffectHelp someone construct an

image of how something mighthappen, and it drives behavior

which creates a change in that direction

Pygmalion EffectChange a teacher’s image of a

student, and their behavior changestoward the student, improving

student performance

SociologyThe study of problems creates an increase in number & severity of

problems. But opposite also occurs.

SportsVivid visualization of one’s performance guides physical performance. Speed of learning when only correct images are

reviewed.

Internal ConversationsStudies of pre and post operativepatients. Difference in recoverybetween positive and negative

imagery.

Analysis… Grievance Reduction

“Enthusiastic Engagement & Positive Energy”

Organizations work best when they are vibrant, alive and fun. You know, when the "joint is jumping!" You can sense that the spirit of the organization is vital and healthy and that people feel pride in their work. Everyone builds on each other's successes, a positive can do attitude is infectious and the glow of success is shared. What's more, this positive energy is appreciated and celebrated so it deepens and lasts.

1. Tell me about a time when you experienced positive energy that was infectious. What was the situation? What created the positive energy? How did it feel to be a part of it? What did you learn?

2. If positive energy were the flame of the organization, how would you spark it? How would you fuel it to keep it burning bright?

do NOW to enhance this?

responsibility? What, specifically, could I have done better? What aspects of the results should I own? What can I do NOW to change this?

• Analyze - What evidence is there that I have no control here?– What evidence is there that the adversity has to affect other areas of my life? How can I

contain it? What evidence is there that the adversity must last any longer than necessary?
