Fabius thought it hard that, whereas the trainers of horses and dogs relied upon care and intimacy and feeding rather than on goads and heavy collars for the removal of the animal's obstinacy, anger, and discontent, the commander of men should not base the most of his discipline on kindness and gentleness, but show more harshness and violence in his treatment of them than farmers in their treatment of wild fig-trees, wild pear-trees, and wild olive-trees, which they reclaim and domesticate till they bear luscious olives, pears, and figs.

[Section 20]

@samuelpepys

Yeah, lit feels good to be singled out by a senior and seen by everyone as someone who matters. Happens rarely enough!

[Note to self 1: show those who work with you that they matter.]

[Note to self 2: dig out your old notes on David Cooperrider's and Suresh Srivatva's model of "Appreciative Inquiry". They served me well when I had a management role.]

Le début d'un accompagnement, c'est d'abord le début d'un changement, le début d'une aventure humaine.
Celle-ci s'annonce belle et engagée.

Merci de votre confiance.

@mattwynne @dddeu @diana For years I’ve considered attending the @dddeu conference/events at the recommendation of @rebeccawb . Your description makes me wish even harder that I could have been there. #JOMO #FOMO Maybe next year! Attendum: In the 1980’s & 90’s (before I met #agile), my consulting work was primarily #sts work design/redesign. #sociotechnical systems & #appreciativeinquiry have been at the heart of my work ever since. #Emery #Trist #Hanna #Passmore #Axelrods 💚💚💚

Good read about #AppreciativeInquiry: positivepsychology.com/appreci

I know quite some folks who got inspiration from this method also for their 'everyday #communication skills'.

So sharing is caring. :)

@mloxton Sorry for my late response; just entered this medium. Did you ever came across the book Conversations Worth Having in Healthcare, by (a.o.) Jackie Stavros? I just translated it in Dutch.

@samuelpepys

Exactly how I feel, Sam, when my bosses show me that they trust me. Much good work gets done this way.

I find Appreciative Inquiry a motivating approach, and thought I'd take to it easily. Turns out focusing on the positive rather than “the problem” for ten minutes or roleplay was harder than I expected! Problem-solving off, listening on- that is going to take some practice.

Already looking forward to the next edition, in another forest-y environment so I'll take my camera again :)

“That which you give attention, grows”

Another inspiring two days with the Centre for Academic Teaching in the Educational Leadership program; this quote stayed with me the most. We spent time examining Appreciative Inquiry (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apprecia) and how focusing on what is going *right* can help approach change management from a positive perspective.
