Conversation Matters
JULY 10, 2012
A number of years ago I wrote an article, “The Hallways of Learning” published in Organizational Dynamics , in which I suggested that we might look at the creative, open ended conversations we have in the hallways of our organizations as a metaphor for the kind of conversations we need in the many organizational meetings we hold each day.
