But it soon became apparentthat the issue was not negotiation itself, but dialogue betweenparties. We have become experts at sending information—viaemail, text message, Internet, TV, and other forms of media,communicating, but not engaging, in an active dialogue defined bycollaborative thinking. In Dialogue Gap, Nixon explores this growing disconnectand its significance in an increasingly globalized world where theability to engage with others—in order to address issues likeclimate change, cultural differences, etc.—has becomeessential. Helps the reader differentiate communication and dialogue Explores the make-up and causes of the "Dialogue Gap" and whatconstitutes "good" dialogue (the right people talking about theright issues in the right way at the right time and in the rightplace) Identifies the most common reasons people don't dialogueeffectively and provides helpful tips on how to engage in moreeffective, productive dialogues Effective dialogue is essential for general success, ensuringthat all key stakeholders—in business, politics, orelsewhere—get what they want in the most efficient andproductive way possible.
