Faithful Questions
What is your best story on
leadership, leadership that you really
appreciated?
What do you see as the values and actions
(behavior) leading to the positive core of
leadership
1) Leadership is the authentic expression of
one’s inner life that creates value through
collective effort (Sam Yau)

truly are’ (Kierkengaard)

Appreciative leaders perspective
on our external and internal clocks
Today’s business environment
Ever increasing speed of change (external clock)
Result: (possible) loss of identity
Today’s appreciative leaders challenge
Assuring balance between external and internal clock
Result: employees becoming who they truly are
