Send us a textIn this episode of Dear HR Diary, Dawn sits down with Sara Taylor to get real about workplace civility—what it is, what it isn't, and why it's the foundation of healthy culture. We dig into cultural competence, how polarization is showing up at work, and a powerful mindset shift—assuming differences—that helps leaders communicate across identities, generations, and viewpoints. If you're tired of “be nice” posters and want practical tools that actually change behavior, this one's for you.What You'll LearnCultural Competence 101: How identity, context, and power shape everyday interactions (and why “treat everyone the same” backfires).Civility vs. Niceness: Civility = respect + accountability + boundaries. Niceness alone won't save your culture.Polarization at Work: Spot the warning signs (us-vs-them language, meeting silos, performative emails) and what leaders can do immediately.Assume Differences: A simple habit to reduce friction, improve listening, and make feedback land without drama.Manager Moves: Scripts, norms, and micro-behaviors that turn values into daily practice.“Civility isn't about being agreeable—it's about being accountable for how our behavior affects other people.” — Sara Taylor Practical TakeawaysAdopt a civility standard: “We address issues directly, we don't label people, and we separate intent from impact.” Put it in team norms.Use the two-step check: 1) Assume difference (experience, context, language). 2) Ask before assuming (“Can you share how you're seeing this?”).Meeting hygiene: Agenda, time boxes, speak-order rotation, “one mic at a time,” and a 2-minute debrief: What worked? What to adjust?Feedback formula: Behavior → Impact → Ask. “When deadlines move without notice (behavior), the field team misses windows (impact). What can we change next sprint? (ask)”Red/Yellow/Green topics: Identify which conversations are safe to debate now (green), need prep (yellow), or require facilitation (red).Resources for ListenersBooksThe Culture Map (Erin Meyer) – Navigating cross-cultural communication.Thanks for the Feedback (Stone & Heen) – Receiving feedback without combusting.Guides & ToolkitsPsychological Safety primers (Amy Edmondson talks/articles).Meeting norms templates (RACI, Working Agreements, and Team Charter one-pagers).Connect with Sara TaylorWebsite: https://www.deepseeconsulting.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarajanetaylor/Email:  sara@deepseeconsulting.com Sara's Book: https://www.deepseeconsulting.com/thinking-at-the-speed-of-biasCall to ActionIf you want fewer eye-rolls and more buy-in, start with civility.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the idea that Civility, in one of its meanings, is among the most valuable social virtues: the skill to discuss topics that really matter to you, with someone who disagrees and yet somehow still get along. In another of its meanings, when Civility describes the limits of behaviour that is acceptable, the idea can reflect society at its worst: when only those deemed 'civil enough' are allowed their rights, their equality and even their humanity. Between these extremes, Civility is a slippery idea that has fascinated philosophers especially since the Reformation, when competing ideas on how to gain salvation seemed to make it impossible to disagree and remain civil.With Teresa Bejan Professor of Political Theory at Oriel College, University of OxfordPhil Withington Professor of History at the University of SheffieldAnd John Gallagher Associate Professor of Early Modern History at the University of LeedsProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list: Teresa M.

Part 1 Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss Summary"Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation" by Lynne Truss is a witty and engaging exploration of the importance of punctuation in writing. The book emphasizes how proper punctuation can change the meaning of sentences and affect the clarity of communication.Truss uses the amusing title, derived from a joke about a panda that eats bamboo, shoots (the bamboo), and leaves, to illustrate how punctuation marks can drastically alter interpretations. The book is structured into various chapters that focus on different punctuation marks, including periods, commas, apostrophes, quotation marks, and more, providing historical context, grammatical rules, and humorous anecdotes to highlight common mistakes and misuses.Throughout the text, Truss adopts a light-hearted yet serious tone regarding the decline of punctuation standards in contemporary writing, largely due to the rise of digital communication and informal writing styles. She argues for a return to precision and traditional grammar, emphasizing that punctuation is not just a set of arbitrary symbols but a crucial tool for conveying meaning accurately."Eats, Shoots & Leaves" serves as both a guide and a manifesto for punctuation enthusiasts and those who may be less familiar with grammatical rules. Truss's passion for punctuation shines through, making the subject entertaining and accessible to a wide audience, ultimately advocating for careful and thoughtful writing.Part 2 Eats, Shoots & Leaves AuthorLynne Truss is a British author, journalist, and broadcaster best known for her humorous writing on the subject of grammar and punctuation. Her most famous work, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation, was released in 2003.

Note: This is a rebroadcast.A lot of self-improvement advice and content feels empty. And there's a reason for that. It often offers routines and habits to practice, but doesn't offer a strong, overarching reason to practice them.That's why the self-improvement advice of the Founding Fathers is particularly compelling. Though they were imperfect men, they had a clear why for trying to become better than they were. For the Founders, life was about the pursuit of happiness, and they equated happiness with excellence and virtue — a state that wasn't about feeling good, but being good. The Founders pursued happiness not only for the personal benefit in satisfaction and tranquility it conferred, but for the way the attainment of virtue would benefit society as a whole; they believed that political self-government required personal self-government.Today on the show, Jeffrey Rosen, a professor of law, the president of the National Constitution Center, and the author of The Pursuit of Happiness, shares the book the Founders read that particularly influenced their idea of happiness as virtue and self-mastery. We talk about the schedules and routines the Founders kept, the self-examination practices they did to improve their character, and how they worked on their flaws, believing that, while moral perfection was ultimately an impossible goal to obtain, it was still something worth striving for.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM's series on Benjamin Franklin's 13 VirtuesBen Franklin Virtues Journal available in the AoM StoreAoM Article: Young Benjamin Franklin's Plan of ConductAoM Article: Thomas Jefferson's 10 Rules for LifeAoM Article: The Libraries of Famous Men — Thomas Jefferson's Recommended ReadingAoM Article: The Best John Adams QuotesAoM Article: George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and ConversationAoM Podcast #366: Teach Yourself Like George WashingtonAoM Article: The Spiritual Disciplines — Study and Self-ExaminationTusculan Disputations by Marcus Tullius CiceroThe Golden Verses of Pythagoras Connect With Jeffrey RosenThe National Constitution Center website We the People podcastJeffrey's faculty pageJeffrey on X

Can ‘civility' bridge polarized perspectives at work?In our increasingly polarized world, many workplaces are turning to "civility" as a solution, but this approach often falls short by promoting a surface-level harmony that ignores the root of our divisions. Civility alone isn't the answer, it's only halfway there on the road to cultural competence. True progress requires developing skills that allow us to move beyond judgment and defensiveness. By understanding the developmental stages of how we interact with difference, we can navigate difficult conversations, reduce harm, and build the capacity to create genuinely inclusive and effective teams.On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with guest Sara Taylor, a Cultural Competence expert and author of Filter Shift and Thinking at the Speed of Bias. They examine why civility initiatives often fail to bridge deep workplace divides and explore the five-stage model for developing cultural competence. They also discuss the real harm of politicizing identity and why true effectiveness requires moving beyond mere civility to genuinely understand and adapt to difference.Keep Up with Sara:https://www.sarataylor.com/Try Learning Snippets:https://dialectic.solutions/signupContact Us to Be a Guest on Just One Q:https://dialectic.solutions/podcast-guest

DEI is Broader Than Just Race - Dyann McDowell emphasizes that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) isn't only about race—it includes disability, body type, age, religion, and more. Creating inclusive workplaces means considering everyone's needs.Eric here. I sit down with Dyann McDowell, a seasoned HR professional and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) expert with over 25 years of experience. Dyann shares her journey from traditional HR training to her pivotal role in DEI—well before it became a mainstream corporate focus. Together, we talk about the most pressing challenges facing today's workplaces: the evolving meaning of DEI beyond race, the resurgence of incivility, and why genuine inclusion and civility are more critical than ever.Dyann brings a fresh, honest perspective on what's working and what isn't in DEI, highlighting the danger of divisive tactics and the importance of true conversation and curiosity. She draws from personal and professional stories—from lessons on privilege to the very real impacts of workplace culture—to illustrate how organizations can move past surface-level initiatives and create truly welcoming, high-performing environments.Hear more about Dyann's latest project, “Civility Unleashed,” a new framework designed to help organizations not only address but transform toxic workplace behavior, build accountability, and foster real, sustainable change. If you're passionate about the future of work—or just want to be inspired by a candid, solutions-oriented leader—this episode is a must-listen.Here are three key takeaways that stood out to me:DEI Goes Beyond Race: Dyann emphasizes that diversity, equity, and inclusion aren't just about race. True DEI means considering all forms of difference—ability, size, age, gender, and more—to ensure everyone feels like they belong and can contribute fully.Civility Is a Business Necessity: The rise of toxic workplace behaviors and incivility isn't just a social or moral issue—it's a bottom-line problem. Dyann shares that only 16% of today's workforce is actively engaged, and uncivil behavior is a top driver of disengagement and turnover. Building a respectful, civil culture is non-negotiable for organizational success.Curiosity and Civil Discourse Matter: One of the most compelling parts of the discussion was the urgency to bring back curiosity and civil discourse. Dyann advocates for workplaces where difficult conversations happen with empathy and openness, rather than judgment or division. “If we're not opening up the conversation, then we're not advancing.”Key Moments04:12 DEI's Future Post-Election Analysis06:31 "Glasses and Unfair Blame"10:33 Generational Privilege and Education13:20 Debate Over Wilson School Naming17:20 Reevaluating Affirmative Action Beliefs19:41 Misconceptions About DEI22:32 "Curiosity Deficit's Societal Impact"27:42 "Six-Second Rule in Decision-Making"29:20 Rise in Workplace Misconduct Cases34:33 "Superstars' Behavior Excused at Work"35:39 Leadership's Impact Flows Downward44:50 Owning Mistakes with Grace45:44 Empowering Employees Against Microaggressions48:55 "Empowering Employees Through Constructive Dialogue"52:45 "Understanding Emotional Intelligence"55:54 "Leaning In to Listen and Learn"59:11 "Divine 3 AM Mosaic Vision"Dyann McDowell is a powerhouse in the world of Human Resources and Training.
