In the web lecture we are informed of different types of possible democracies. These types of democracies include procedural, competitive, participatory, deliberative, and dialogic democracy. Of all these different ways of governing an organization I would say that the dialogic democracy method is the best way to organize an organization. Dialogic democracy benefits the entire organization because it takes active listening and speaking to move forward from one point to another. Organizations who can do get many people actively involved will make people more aware of there surrounds and as a result a better out put by everyone. The only negative to this style of democracy is that it is time consuming. Although this may be true, if time is what a company needs on order to be the most productive, then I would say that it was time well spent compared to a waste of time.

I completely agree with you that dialogic democracy method is the best way to organize an organization in which participants work together to create meaningful communication. This method also created a great balance between self-expression and listening to others. In organizations that use this method, sense making happens at higher rate and productivity increases naturally. Since this method is time consuming, organizational leaders need to gauge the priorities and put more efforts in identifying the information and communication needs of each priorities so that individual players can participate in authentic dialogue where inquiry, participation, and collaboration happens.
