All the Difference: Six Leadership Actions to Bridge Perspectives, Strengthen Teams, and Create Value

by Susan Mackenty Brady, et al.

Your team is filled with people with different communication styles, perspectives, cultural norms, and capabilities. Sometimes, these differences can lead to friction, and even conflict. But difference is not just noise to tolerate—it’s the raw material for creating value.

They also identify the hidden “landmines” that often create havoc for leaders trying to navigate difference using yesterday’s assumptions.
