The
Center for Positive Change was established
as a result of the December 2001 Leadership
Summit. The leadership Summit was
held at the Naval Postgraduate School, 3-6
December 2001. The first of its kind,
the Summit assembled over 260 people with
ranks ranging from Seaman to Admiral, who
also represented all backgrounds in our
Navy. The Leadership Summit was an
application of a new way to view and lead
large-scale change called a Large Group
Intervention (LGI). Combining LGIs
with the positive change approach of Appreciative
Inquiry yielded a dynamic summit process
for rapid, collaborative change. Hence,
the Leadership Summit was aimed at leadership
improvement and our Navy's system of leadership
development, utilizing an LGI with Appreciative
Inquiry to generate pilot projects with
input from all stakeholders.
The
Leadership Summit was so successful, a second
Leadership Summit was held by Third Fleet
the following year. Since its inception,
the CPC, with the help of colleagues at
Case Western Reserve University, has facilitated
Appreciative Inquiry summits for the Navy
Reserves, the Navy-Family-Team, and the
Information Professionals (a new community
that stood itself up in 2001).
