We all tackle ethical dilemmas. Wrong decisions can break careers. Which are the key challenges faced? What are some likely solutions? Where can we find effective tools? Who can apply these and why? Dry, theoretical discussions don't help. Join us for lively, light conversations to learn, share and grow!

If you ask anyone in your workplace how they would like to be treated by their managers and co-workers, most will use the words ‘Respect’, ‘Dignity’ and ‘Trust’. No one wants to be treated poorly, with bias and mistrust irrespective of the status, titles at workplace.
In today’s digital age where tweets run faster than thoughts and opinions are shared faster than the facts, the diversity is no longer means having different race, gender and religions but it also means respecting and treating differences in work style, generations and personalities with equality. Embracing workplace diversity is important, as it increases the talent pool and brings new ideas, perspectives and skills to your workforce.

This topic is so important in today's business world. Treating others the way we would like to be treated. Thank you for creating another opportunity for us to talk about this.
Alankar, a great and relevant topic. Psychological safety happens to be one of the top priorities for engaging in mutual respect. Team members should feel comfortable and safe while discussing their point of view.
I have learnt a lot from this article and found it engaging - https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/28/magazine/what-google-learned-from-its-quest-to-build-the-perfect-team.html
Organizations which work with cross-cultural environment are often at risk of issues related to these tenets.
Thanks

Hi Alankar, thanks for bringing out a very important topic. Especially working in a perception driven organization, overcoming this barrier is very difficult.

Great blog Alankar, I particularly liked your comment about trying not to judge. We all have preconceived notions and biases. However, trying to step back form the situation and looking at it objectively can help

Good post! I agree, respect is a huge part of team development. Without it, creativity and ingenuity cannot flourish. I've been in a few groups where individuals were treated with disrespect by leadership and it created a toxic environment that wasn't good for anyone.
