The most effective and efficient way to improve the connection is to improve the leadership dialogue.

In today's business environment, collaboration, particularly at the leadership level, is essential. Too often, however, collaboration is confused with compromise. An Agile Enterprise requires a level of leadership engagement that goes far beyond compromise and creates space for constructive conflict; that is, conflict that leaves all parties smarter than they were before and results in collaborative solutions to problems that once seemed intractable.

Our leadership dialogue program teaches leaders how to connect with the organization's core purpose and goals while balancing the cares, concerns and circumstances of their staff, peers, customers and other key stakeholder groups.

All too often, the goal of leadership dialogue is peace and harmony rather than creativity and innovation. In turbulent times, organizations that foster an atmosphere of engaged, constructive conflict will move faster and be more nimble than organizations that are peaceful and harmonious. Leadership dialogue must be developed with open, honest, responsible communication; high levels of accountability (being accountable and holding others to account), and an active pursuit of alignment rather than agreement (or "agreeing to disagree") to resolve even very great differences.

In this two-day workshop, Conversant builds connection and accelerates value in leadership dialogue. We accomplish this by teaching you how to improve the timing and quality of interactions that surround the development and execution of solutions to the most difficult problems facing the organization.
