Positive Change Methods Podcast Free Choice Principle

In this episode, all about Appreciative Inquiry’s Free Choice Principle.

It’s why organisations thrive when people are free to choose the type of contribution they make, and how much they want to put into it.

It also adds an element of democracy to work culture.
