Action Dialogues: Meaningful Conversations to Accelerate Change
Action Dialogues is a boxed set that includes dialogue book and 52-illustrated issue/wisdom cards. Designed to be a portable dialogue tool in a compact, ready-to-go case, so you can use it anywhere, anytime, any place.
The BOOK provides an introduction to dialogue, a proven process for three kinds of Exploration on Your Own, One-on-One Conversation, and Small Group Conversation. It provides an innovative approach to help you accelerate organizational change. It brings the powerful process of dialogue, the essential component of involvement, together with a new approach to identify issues standing in the way of progress and achievement. The book serves as a user s guide that includes step-by-step dialogue processes, advice for dialogue leaders, and an inspiration foreword by Frances Hesselbein, Chairman of the Board of Governors, Leader to Leader Institute (Peter F. Drucker Foundation), recounting what we can all learn about dialogue from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The 52 illustrated CARDS (6.5 x 4 ) are grouped into seven areas of organizational influence--leadership, culture, involvement, the business, strategies and measures, staffing, and ownership. The cards name 52 of the most common issues and include corresponding wisdom to consider. They can be passed out in groups of any size to allow participants to literally, put their cards on the table about internal issues they'd rather not bring up aloud. They're not only a brilliant icebreaker for this potent topic but a good first step toward isolating specific areas of strength and weakness within an organization working to put its differences to work to innovate, influence and win.
