In the Appreciative Inquiry textbooks you will see various question frameworks for conducting appreciative interviews. This one works nicely for use in business, because it doesn’t just discover and amplify the positive emotional states that come from exploring peak experiences.
It also identifies the motivating values behind why people find these experiences significant, and identifies the conditions that made great performance possible so that it can be replicated more widely.
