Today's most creative and successful people possess an unusual ability: they know how to reframe reality to reveal the hidden possibilities within even the most seemingly unpromising situations. Tojo Thatchenkery and Carol Metzker call this unique talent 'appreciative intelligence." Using real-world examples--like Asa Candler, who looked at a failing headache remedy called Coca-Cola and saw a bestselling soft drink, and Charles Pellerin, who helped NASA bounce back from the Hubble telescope debacle--they describe this ability in detail for the first time and explain how you can develop it in yourself or your organization.
