Margaret Rahn

is at the beginning stages of her doctoral work. She is working to make a study, via an introductory literature review, of three fields including dialogue, leadership and organizational change, and appreciative inquiry and social constructionism. Then, I will interview organization leaders who employ dialogue effectively within their organizations. Via their stories I hope to gain insight into how dialogue and social constructionism is at work within organizations to effectively support relationship building, change, growth and creativity. My goal is to identify common elements and complementary connections among the four sources.
