Deep DialogSM is comprised of two
separate "processes": Drivers and Deficits.
Drivers are seven constructive
processes that are essential for healthy relationships and
are found among people who work together and produce successful
outcomes.
Deficits are five destructive
processes that negatively impact relationships and frequently
occur in relationships with serious problems. Deficits are
barriers to communication.
The Deep Dialog process measures the
extent to which relationships are made up of these Drivers
and Deficits. Relationships that have high scores on
Drivers and low scores on Deficits are usually
characterized by people who are able to:
- Successfully bridge differences
- Bond with others
- Collaborate as partners with mutual
trust
- Respect each other and share knowledge
freely
- Foster high levels of cooperation
and innovation
- Share strong mutual commitments to
carry out specific tasks and projects
Organizations with a Deep Dialog
culture are able to interact productively with all of their
stakeholder groups, find competitive relationships and tend
to be more successful than other organizations.
