Comment: Few people use or write about the term Conversational Leadership, but David Whyte is one of them. A poet and philosopher, he brings a rare depth to the idea, showing how genuine conversation lies at the heart of meaningful work, personal growth, and collective transformation.Conversational leadership is an approach to working together, emphasizing on the power of conversation.
What are the conversations that enable and disable the quality and performance of work?
As an individual, as a group or team and as an entire organization.
Given the stage you are in, what are the conversations that need to stop, to start or to change?
Conversational leadership does not mean indulging in endless talking but rather identifying and engaging with the crucial and often courageous exchanges.
This facilitates meaningful change, increases adaptability and supports development.
