New Year's direction from Dialogue And The Art Of Thinking Together by William Isaacs ---

"Most conversations are conducted by people who know what they think and why they think it. These people cannot get to dialogue. Dialogue is characterized by people who surprise themselves by what they say. They do not have all of their thoughts worked out in advance but are willing to be influenced by the conversation itself. They come with questions to which they do not yet have answers. And they do not demand answers of others."

Yes, this is an extrovert who connects with this thought...
