There has never been a more important time for leaders to foster connection across difference.

Recovery from the economic impact of Covid-19, among other divisive challenges, will depend on our ability to collaborate across differences of many kinds. Yet inevitably Us versus Them gaps disrupt workplace efficiency. The Business of WE provides a practical roadmap for creating trust with others – those who speak another first language, worship in another faith or see a different reflection when they look in the mirror.

Helping employees develop a WE mindset is critical as we enter a post-pandemic economy where every organization will have to do more with fewer people and smaller budgets. Whether a team is developing a vaccine or increasing the efficiency of an international supply chain, fostering a workplace that is inclusive and respectful of all employees is key to success.
