This issue will focus on engaging, stimulating, challenging, unexpected, surprising, oblique, inspiring and quirky accounts of Positive and Appreciative Leadership.

We are especially interested in stories that go beyond the commonly used ‘5D’ model, accounts that take the AI philosophy and approach and apply it in emerging and unfolding contexts. We are also interested in accounts:

Of positive and appreciative leadership, recognising that leadership can be offered from many different positions within organizations and groups.

of acts or interventions that call on an understanding of organizations as livings systems and that privilege a positive and appreciative approach to achieving organisational change.

That are able both to provide sufficient context to situate the story, and, sufficient detail about significant moments or episodes to reveal key moments of felt and perceived change.

of interventions that have made significant and measurable impacts on an organisation’s efficiency or effectiveness, both in terms of financial and staff resources and enhanced delivery outcomes.
