Naked Conversations



     “Formality suppresses dialogue; informality
  encourages it. Formal conversations and
  presentations leave little room for debate. They
  suggest that everything is scripted and
  predetermined. Informal dialogue is open. It
  invites questions, encourages spontaneity and
  critical thinking...Informality gets the truth out. It
  surfaces out-of-the-box ideas -- the ideas that may
  seem absurd at first hearing but that create
  breakthroughs.“
                         -Larry Bossidy, CEO, Honeywell
