Dialogic Democracy

In the web lecture Democracy and Dialogue all the different forms of democracy are discussed but I will focus on Dialogic Democracy, “a form of democracy emphasizing inquiry, participation, and dialogue in decision making.” However, in order to be successful in discussion and dialogue is based on “a profound willingness and ability to engage in differences without judgment,” meaning that people who interact must be willing to be their differences aside or at least try to understand them. It is also important for organizations to be able to communicate effectively in order to be successful in the long run. Everyone must work together to create successful dialogue. However, this does not mean that people can say whatever they want; they must be active listeners too. One must be willing to express their own ideas and hear others as well. The only issue is that all this communication takes time and in our fast paced world some get left behind.
I have stated before that my boss can be terrible at communicating and then suggests I should know everything without having to be told. No business can be successful until all communication lines are open, free, and done correctly. The communicator has to convey the message to someone and that someone must listen actively in order to obtain the information given. Hopefully one day my buss will be able to communicate.
