From the Inside Flap
"In this thought-provoking and lucidly written book, Thatchenkery
and Metzker provide a compelling justification for the notion of
‘Appreciative Intelligence.’ This is what endows successful leaders with the
qualities of persistence, conviction, comfort with uncertainty, and
resilience to overcome challenges. This book is a must-read for all those
grappling with the issue of leadership in a dynamic, complex, and confusing
world." —Dr. V. Nilakant, Associate Dean, Faculty of Commerce,
University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand
"Thatchenkery and Metzker see enormous potential in all of us to
create new and more promising futures, and this work invites us all to share
the same inspiring vision. It is a vision I find enormously compelling and
for which we should all be appreciative." —Kenneth J. Gergen, Mustin
Professor of Psychology, Swarthmore College
"Appreciative Intelligence is a book and an idea that opens new
possibilities for seeing how people and organizations create value and
achieve success. Appreciative Intelligence is an inspiring and practical
account of how to develop the capacity to see potential within the present
and to develop this capacity within oneself and in others." —Jane E.
Dutton, William Russell Kelly Professor of Business Administration and
Professor of Psychology, Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of
Michigan
"Stunning! Going one step beyond appreciative inquiry, Thatchenkery
and Metzker have made an exciting contribution to the new field of positive
organizational scholarship. This book will forever change how you think about
intelligence." —Robert Kramer, PhD, and Director, Executive Education
Programs, American University

Book Description : The secret to success lies in something that
everyone has the ability to do: reframe reality to reveal the hidden
potential within even the most apparently unpromising present.
""Appreciative Intelligence marks the first time that this ability
has been rigorously investigated. Arguing that the keys to Appreciative Intelligence
are revealing the hidden value in others and building an infrastructure,
environment, or culture that spreads the leader's Appreciative Intelligence,
Tojo Thatchenkery and Carol Metzker draw on real-life examples and thorough
interviews with top executives to identify actual examples of this elusive
ability. Through these examples they show how a knack for creatively dealing
with unexpected situations is the common bond between a diverse range of
success stories. The authors also show that time and time again, an
understanding of Appreciative Intelligence leads to organizations that enjoy
higher levels of innovation, more productive employees, greater ability to
adapt to changes, and, ultimately, greater profit.
