- A metaphor for Dialogue in business organizations
- Dialogue leads to shared meaning which supports better decision making in the organization. This is one of the "payoffs" for the time invested in dialogue.
- Dialogue can be though of as grease and oil in a gasoline engine
- Dialogue is like the grease and oil in an engine. Regular decision making meetings are like gasoline.
- The shared meaning that is created and exposed in dialogue spreads to cover all the parts, making them work with less friction. Like oil, meaning is not lost very quickly once acquired (in a modern and well maintained engine.)
- "Don't put grease or oil in the gas tank."
- Don't spend all pf your money on gasoline.
- Invest in the oil and grease, though it is not always obvious that you need it (until it is too late).
- It is shared meaning that lets the parts work to gether with less friction and no melt downs.
- Patient's in dialogue! DO IT!
