As a nonprofit consultant and executive coach, I help leaders navigate conflict every day. And as we build more diverse workplaces, the need for tools to ensure that tension is healthy is exponentially greater. This is a smart, no-nonsense book with no jargon and terrific tools. Consider a copy for everyone on your team and use it for group discussion. That’s my plan.
