Conversational Capacity
Length: 1 Hour
The Conversational Capacity® Workshop: Conversational capacity refers to a team’s ability to engage in open, balanced, nondefensive dialogue about difficult subjects and in challenging circumstances. A team with high conversational capacity can perform well, remaining on track even when dealing with their most troublesome issues. A team lacking that capacity, by contrast, can see their performance derail over a minor disagreement. This capacity isn’t just another aspect of effective teamwork – it defines it.As our world grows more complex and less predictable the ability to work together effectively under pressure is a pivotal competence that separates those who struggle from those who succeed. The more challenging the situation we’re facing the higher the conversational capacity we need to deal with it well. Drawing on respected research in leadership studies, business management, psychology, and neuroscience, the Conversational Capacity Workshop shows participants how to build healthier, more adaptive teams and working relationships. Highly practical, the ideas have been tested and refined in a host of tough organizational settings. They work.
