Linda Hartling: Appreciative Enquiry

"Appreciative Enquiry" is a video clip that was recorded on October 30, 2011, in Portland, Oregon, USA, by Evelin Lindner, for the World Dignity University initiative.
In this brief video presentation, Linda Hartling shares her adaptation of the appreciative inquiry (sic) approach as it was originally developed by David Cooperrider at Case Western Reserve University. She writes August 2004 (see more on the Appreciative Enquiry or "Waging good Conflict" page on this website):
"For me our approach means daring to "move toward mutuality" in all of our efforts. I conceptualize "movement toward mutuality" as an powerful act of resistance to organizational practices that implicitly or explicitly propagate exploitation. In "Relational-Cultural-Organizational Theory" (my variation on RCT), exploitation might be called "relational-organizational malpractice" (a variation of Joyce Fletcher's term). Far too many for-profit and nonprofit organizations depend on countless forms of relational-organizational malpractice, including shameless exploitation. Whether this occurs in an organization that is working for good or not, it is still malpractice."
