This paper critically examines the contextual and relational nature of educational leadership in learning organisations and communities. Through examining and employing fundamental principles of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) - a strength-based approach to purposeful organisational change, participants will interrogate their leadership practice with a view to building, leading and sustaining flourishing learning organisations and communities. This paper seeks to enhance the participant's ability to strengthen professional relationships and engage individuals in change mechanisms within diverse communities of practice.
