Appreciative Leadership: team building for leadership and team culture

For leaders and core teams who want to build a positive, safe and learning culture - with active teamwork assignments and Appreciative Inquiry.

With short, interactive Teamwork Challenges and appreciative dialogues, you will explore together: what is already working well in our team, what are we proud of and what do we long for?

What is "Appreciative Leadership in Teamwork"?

Appreciative Leadership is a team building and leadership program based on Appreciative Inquiry (AI): working from what is already working, expressing appreciation and longing together for the desired future.

We combine:

“The success of a team is primarily determined by the quality of its relationships.”

” Knowledge is between the ears and wisdom is between the noses.”

From these mottos, we will work through challenging assignments and make the conversation about culture, leadership and collaboration concrete.

Who is Appreciative Leadership suitable for?

Leaders with their own team (operational, MT, project team).

Core teams or ambassador teams seeking to strengthen culture and collaboration.

HR/business partners who want to help a team take a step forward in trust, feedback and ownership.

Teams that are already “running pretty well,” but want to take the next step in collaboration and culture.

This workshop is suitable for groups from about 5 to 30 people (outdoor and/or indoor).

In a unique way, Angelique takes you sparring through the disc method. As a result, you literally learn! I learned what color(s) to confess and how others are colored.
