Cooperrider's Foreword to Appreciative
Intelligence: Seeing the Mighty Oak in the Acorn
This November 2005 commentary on Appreciative Inquiry comes from David
Cooperrider's Foreword to an excitng new book in press called, Appreciative
Intelligence: Seeing the Mighty Oak in the Acorn written by Tojo
Thatchenkery and Carol Metzker (forthcoming from Berrett-Koehler 2006). As
you will see, the book advances Howard Gardner's classic concept of multiple
intelligences, and helps answer a question people are increasingly asking:
"How can we develop appreciative capacities in ourselves and others--not
just at the organizational or larger systems levels--but at the individual
levels of our own lives?" Also don't miss the story of David's recent trip
to Israel. It is a real example of Appreciative Intelligence in the midst of
difficult, seemingly intractable conflict. It is also an inspiring account of
business as a force for reconciliation and peace. Cheers to Tojo and Carol for
their fine book!
