Why is it ‘unfortunate’ that studies of organizations have tended to focus on individual acts?
![Page 3: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Dialogue = discursive coordination in the service of social ends.

Dimensions of dialogue:
Dialogue originates in the public sphere.
• Intersubjectivity
•Avoids ‘mind’ as starting place.
![Page 5: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Dialogue is a form of coordinated action.
• John Shotter: joint-action.
• There are no comprehensible monologues . . .
![Page 6: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Dialogue efficacy is bodily and contextually embedded.
• Speaking and all of the nonverbals communicate.
• The power of words varies by situation.
![Page 7: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Dialogue efficacy is historically and culturally situated.
•We have to know when we are there and . . .
•Where we are.
![Page 8: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Dialogue may serve both positive and negative purposes.
“Which dialogue is needed to get what I (my group) want?”
![Page 9: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Dialogue brings form to life . . .
• Work
• Family
• Friends
• Etc.

Generative vs. Degenerative dialogue?
![Page 11: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Gergen’s project =
• We are socially constructed (our being)
• Ethics (who we should be . . .)
![Page 12: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
So, this chapter is about being and becoming . . .
![Page 13: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The nature of generative dialogue.
• It is fragile.
• The act of affirmation.
• More voices increase legitimacy.
• But in a situation of civility and respect.
• When should we not engage in generative dialogue?
![Page 14: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How is coordination achieved?
•Critique.
•Negotiating coherence.
•Repeating ‘topoi.’
•Metonymy . . . (a piece = whole)
• ‘Let’s talk about the weather . . .

So, history informs and limits current possibilities . . . How are we to proceed?
![Page 16: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
To know how to succeed at dialogue.
• Be able to perform = dance.
• Know when you are close to agreement . . . Reflexive punctuation.
• Be inclusive . . . Not ‘I’ but create bonds.
![Page 17: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Let’s get dysfunctional . . .
• Negation . . .
• Obliterates alternative
• Pre-empts dialogue
• ≠ is weakness
• The article is too optimistic.

The individual is both responsible and powerless. Respond.

![Page 20: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Self reflexivity leads to polyvocality . . .
![Page 21: Communication and Theatre 4/514 Issues in Organizational Communication Dialogue](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d7a5503460f94a5ec8b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Appreciative inquiry = positive experiences and hopeful futures.
• Mutual affirmation
• Productive differences
• Individual blame avoided
