Change I-Thinking to WE-Thinking & Build a Healthy, Thriving Organization

We are experiencing unprecedented changes. Businesses and global communities are more challenged than ever before, and it feels as though there has been a sudden and profound interruption in business continuity. Judith E. Glaser, author of the best selling Creating WE calls the crossroads at which we find decisions too difficult to make The Edge – where our resources are few, and our old approaches no longer produce successful results. At these moments of greatest challenge – we often turn away from others, trying instead to handle challenges on our own. Old-style leadership suggests that leaders should have the answers – and that solutions should come from the top down – to be given to, and implemented by, employees. New-style leadership recognizes that leaders don't have all the answers,and that they instead need to learn how to involve their entire organizations in strategizing for success. Glaser calls this new, inclusive approach ‘WE-Centric’ Leadership.

"A central premise of Creating WE is that an organization's ability to get to its next level of greatness is determined by the climate of the culture, which is determined by the quality of relationships, which depend on the quality of conversations. Everything happens through conversation."

Judith E. Glaser

Creating WE is a vast reservoir of incredible insights and valuable stories, drawn from large scale projects with companies such as Clairol, Donna Karan International, Revlon and many others.

HBR Guide Dealing with ConflictBy Amy Gallo with contributions by Judith E. Glaser

While some of us enjoy a lively debate with colleagues and others prefer to suppress our feelings over disagreements, we all struggle with conflict at work. Every day we navigate an office full of competing interests, clashing personalities, limited time and resources, and fragile egos. Sure, we share the same overarching goals as our colleagues, but we don’t always agree on how to achieve them. We work differently. We rub each other the wrong way. We jockey for position.

How can you deal with conflict at work in a way that is both professional and productive—where it improves both your work and your relationships? You start by understanding whether you generally seek or avoid conflict, identifying the most frequent reasons for disagreement, and knowing what approaches work for what scenarios. Then, if you decide to address a particular conflict, you use that information to plan and conduct a productive conversation. The HBR Guide to Dealing with Conflict will give you the advice you need to:

• Understand the most common sources of conflict
• Explore your options for addressing a disagreement
• Recognize whether you—and your counterpart—typically seek or avoid conflict
• Prepare for and engage in a difficult conversation
• Manage your and your counterpart’s emotions
• Develop a resolution together
• Know when to walk away

Arm yourself with the advice you need to succeed on the job, with the most trusted brand in business. Packed with how-to essentials from leading experts, the HBR Guides provide smart answers to your most pressing work challenges.
