Free-form group dialogue requires patience and also a willingness by participants to let thoughts run their course. It’s not for everyone.

The power of dialogue is that it can be used to discuss not only current issues and challenges but also where you want to be. Through inclusiveness and listening to others speak, leaders can design organizational futures. This puts people in a better position to succeed in the long term because the idea is grown from within.

Rather than trying to predict the future, try instead to create it yourself by talking to others, and organically bringing it to life with your own resources.
