| Simone's Blog: Professional Tips |
| Do you talk well in your organization? |
| Conversation is a core business practice. |
Conversation is better than reporting. Conversation is more useful than updates. Asking meaningful (and open-ended) questions stimulates good conversation. Asking cage-rattling questions produces even deeper and more important conversation. All this together helps you and your organization learn and change. And learning and change is what it takes to be a healthy and effective organization.
So what's the conversation like in your organization? How does your boss support meaningful and cage-rattling questions that nurture genuine and candid conversation? And how about your board? What happens there?
Check out all the questions on in my books and on my website.
