Summary:
"Instead of shutting down any mention of taboo
topics
, Mary-Frances Winters shows
how
to structure intentional conversations
about
them, so people
can
safely confront biases and stereotypes and create stronger, more inclusive organizations.
Politics
,
religion
,
race
--
we
can
't
talk
about
topics
like these at
work
, right? But in fact, these conversations are happening all the time, either in real life or virtually via social media. And if they aren'
t
handled effectively, they
can
become more
polarizing
and divisive, impacting productivity, engagement, retention, teamwork, and even employees' sense of safety in the workplace. But you
can
turn that around and address difficult
topics
in a way that brings people together instead of driving them apart. As a thought leader in the field of diversity and inclusion, Mary-Frances Winters has been helping clients create inclusive environments for over three decades. In this concise and powerful book, she shows you
how
to lay the groundwork for having bold, inclusive conversations. Even with the best of intentions, you
can
't just start talking
about
taboo
topics
-- that's wandering into a minefield. Winters offers exercises and tools to help you become aware of
how
your cultural background has shaped your perceptions and habits and to increase your understanding of
how
people from
other
cultures may differ from you, particularly when it comes to communicating and handling conflict. Once you're ready (you
can
take the self-assessment included in the book to make sure), Winters gives detailed instructions on exactly
how
to structure these conversations. She emphasizes that this is a process, not a destination -- you may not be able to resolve major issues nicely and neatly in just one conversation. And while the process is important, so is intent. She urges readers to 'come from your heart, learn from your mistakes, and continue to contribute to making this a more inclusive world for all.'"--Publisher.
