I love this short video on LinkedIn, “It’s not about the fish,” from Johnnie Moore.
Johnnie’s ideas tie in well with my thinking on Conversational Leadership, which at its simplest is about taking a ‘conversational approach to life’.
Conversational Leadership is about appreciating the transformative power of conversation, practicing leadership, and adopting a conversational approach to the way we work together in a complex world.
It’s no wonder I love his term ‘working conversationally’.
And his ending is beautiful:
To really work conversationally, I think, is potentially to be really open to the complexity of what being human is like.
More broadly, Johnnie discusses the art of navigating conversations, particularly the importance of responding thoughtfully as we take turns speaking. It is essential to choose our words carefully, as this can significantly impact the quality and productivity of our discussions.
I have written only recently about the skill of navigating conversations in my blook.
