Thought-full Thursday: Dialogue


Every Thursday, we provide you with a thoughtful way to coach yourself – something all leaders need to do. So take five – enjoy the inspirational quotes or and reflect on the questions that follow. 


“Most of us believe at some level that we must fix things or change people in order to make them reachable. Dialogue does not call for such behavior. Rather, it asks us to listen for an already existing wholeness, and to create a new kind of association in which we listen deeply to all the views that people may express. It asks that we create a quality of listening and attention that can include – but is larger than – any single view.”  ~William Isaacs, Dialogue and the Art of Thinking Together

  • What would you start if you could be the catalyst for wholeness in your organization? 
  • Your followers are anxious to be heard. Are you listening?  
  • What might be created if all views were included in your organization?
