Entering the Fundamental State of Leadership - Part 2


In his book, Building the Bridge As You Walk On It, Robert Quinn identifies eight practices for entering the fundamental state of leadership. The next two are described below:
Appreciative Inquiry     
    • This person is optimistic and constructive while also being realistic and questioning.
    • The person seeks to find the most enabling and constructive aspects of the current reality.
    • Appreciative questions tap into the issues people care about most deeply and surface possibilities that have been outside their consciousness.
    • In this way, they unleash energy and move self and others to a more creative state.
Grounded Vision
    • This person is grounded and factual while also hopeful and visionary.
    • The person conceptualizes and communicates a future that emerges from the realities of the existing system.
    • The integration of reality and possibility creates an image that attracts self and others outside the comfort zone and into a state of active creation.
