The Heart of your Business
Last week I conducted my training called “Growing Leaders and Culture.”
Its principles are based on effective dialogue.
Why?
Because dialogue is what makes people grow and deliver on their dreams.
You’ve done half the work if you understand that running a successful business is an accumulation of constructive, forward-looking, and growth-focused dialogues.
“Relationships succeed or fail one conversation at a time.”
~ Susan Scott.
Business is a collection of relationships.
Therefore those dialogues are the heart of any business.
Have them and conduct them well, and you have a chance.
Avoid or fail at doing them well, and you’re in trouble.
Let’s start with a few basic questions:
- How well do you listen?
- How good are you at asking good questions?
- How well are you at trying to understand your dialogue partner first?
- How well are you at practicing silence?
