[Ailist] Essentials of (Appreciative) leadership

[Sue Hammond]

Cathy Royal, Lia Bosch and I did an AI in leadership a few years back . 
The protocol is on the AI Commons website (I believe). Key to success is 
asking a diagonal slice of people to describe good leadership vs. a 
self-description.
Gallup is VERY protective of their Q 12 by the way.
