This guidebook presents the principles of Appreciative Inquiry and how to use it in nursing leadership to engage teams, shift culture, and approach problems by building on strengths rather than asking “what’s wrong” or “what’s missing”. It includes opportunities to assess for situations where Appreciative Inquiry could be applied, and walks through the steps in not only using Appreciative Inquiry in daily work but also facilitating a group session for problem-solving or visioning.
