2 Hour Topic

Employees, Supervisors, Managers, Directors and Executives

Talking and conversations are the main modes that leaders use to communicate on a daily basis, even if the conversations are enhanced by technologies such as the telephone or even email. Leaders often fail to differentiate and utilize the major types of conversations in which they can engage to effectively communicate important ideas, to make decisions, and to create understanding among organizational members. Three major types of conversation are explored in this PowerfuLeaders workshoplet™ that examines debate, dialogue and discussion as a selection of communication strategies which can advance ideas in the organizational setting, depending on the purpose of the conversation.
