[Ailist] Team building and AI

[David J. Snider]

Hi Lyn

I suggest you go to the Appreciative Inquiry Commons
http://appreciativeinquiry.case.edu/ and search for Bushe.  That will  
take you to a number of entries on Gervase Bushe's work.  Among them  
is a chapter from his Clear Leadership.  I keep on finding the book  
really useful.  I don't know how it would be just to read this  
chapter without reading the larger context the book provides.  I  
believe the text of two or three of Bushe's articles on teams also is  
on the AI Commons.

I keep finding Bushe's work useful in my integration of AI and the  
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator for my work with leaders and their  
teams.  What I find myself returning to is the great collection of  
analytical "tools" in Clear Leadership.  I also value Bushe's  
understanding of personal/interpersonal issues that is at the core of  
his book.  The articles on his work with teams were helpful to me as  
I began my effort to take what I was reading about use of AI in large  
groups to the team level.

I hope this reference to Bushe's work is useful.  Please let us know  
if you find other useful sources for using AI in team building.

Best to you,

David
