Abstract

The contemporary approach to management imposes the need for complete and constructive communication in the business relations. The reality is that there are situations where the communication is mainly based on expressing views, without a possibility for sharing them or for finding common grounds. This results in emergence of conflicts of developed destructive character, having negative impact upon the overall functioning of the organization. The modern approaches that dictate the mode of achieving maximum efficiency and effectiveness of organizations impose the need to treat the humans as a source of intellectual capital, as a benefit which provides safe conditions for permanent organization growth and development, with an opportunity for reaching and maintaining the stage of everlasting youth. One of the ways to achieve such a condition is establishing and applying a dialogue as a form of communicating and a strategy for building up the organizational learning where the ecology of thought, based on healthy mental models and systems thinking are developed by every individual who considers his/her personal mastery as a determination for life.

Keywords: Dialogue, ecology of thought, mental models, organizational learning, personal mastery, systems thinking, team learning
