Abstract:

This study explores Appreciative Leadership as it is being practiced by college educational leaders in British Columbia. Appreciative Leadership in education is a unique, strength-based approach to leadership which focuses continually on capacity-building and seeing possibilities and opportunities.

Conceptually, the research is informed by a social constructivist approach to educational leadership and how l
