Annotation: In this paper I focus on a specific application of appreciative inquiry that I call the "best team" inquiry, and discuss where it is and isn’t useful and why. In another paper I have discussed the consulting issues associated with using appreciative inquiry in teams (Bushe, 1998). Here I want to go more deeply into the theories of group development and meaning making in teams. I will make the point that there are two very different kinds of groups and they construct the meaning of events very differently. As such, appreciative inquiry has different impacts, and must be used in different ways, in both types of groups.
