The Dialogic Orientation Quadrant (DOQ) is a framework used in team coaching to facilitate effective communication, enhance team dynamics, and foster a collaborative culture. Developed from dialogic practices and theories, the DOQ helps teams explore different communication styles and approaches, allowing them to understand and improve their interactions. This coaching tool is particularly useful in environments where collaboration, innovation, and adaptive problem-solving are key to success.
What is the Dialogic Orientation Quadrant (DOQ)?

- Inquiry involves asking questions, seeking to understand others, and being open to different perspectives.
