Dialogue and Power

Chapter 4 in Relational Perspectives on Leading, 2015, pp 81-105 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Dialogue and power can be interpreted as opposites, though this need not necessarily be the case. In the following section, we focus on the area of conflict between an approach of dialogue and an approach of power in relations between people in an organisational context. Both approaches are interesting when seen from a relational perspective, as both power and dialogue can be understood as constituent parts of co-constructed social realities. Previously, we have mentioned that people in organisations communicate with each other and co-construct social realities by producing, reproducing and coordinating shared meaning together, and that socially and relationally constructed realities permit collaboration and coordinated action in an organisation.
