Generative Conversations

Another really interesting conversation - I seem to be having a lot of these at present and it's really energising. We were discussing generative conversations - for me I've experienced these with two colleagues in particular, where we can each share exactly what is occurring to us at the time and it's not experienced as an interruption or competing for air time or to win an argument. The resultant content that emerges is enriched by each intervention, which we experience as information to add to our discussion rather than a diversion or trying to take control or however else this might be interpreted.

I'm sure there are masses of books written about this approach and probably the best known is William Isaacs 'Dialogue' (1999)
