Turn monologues into dialogues: Turn one-way communication into two-way conversations. Talk with people rather than at them.
A monologue is a speech delivered by one person or a long one-sided conversation. However, a one-sided conversation cannot be considered a real one.
In everyday language, dialogue, on the other hand, is a conversation between two or more people where each person takes turns speaking.
More specifically, dialogue is a free-flowing group conversation in which participants attempt to reach a common understanding. In this context, I am using the everyday definition of dialogue.
There are two aspects to this habit:
- We need to dialogue more and monologue less; in other words, talk with people more than at people.
- We need to design/structure group gatherings such as meetings and presentations so that more dialogue takes place and less monologue.
