Respect Trumps Harmony

Do you strive for a harmonious, happy workplace? Then get ready for poor performance.

In Respect Trumps Harmony, Antarctic expedition leader Rachael Robertson shares her truly unique experience, backed by extensive research, to show why the highest performing teams are those that let go of harmony and focus on respect, diversity of opinions and difficult conversations—all in the service of creating remarkable results.

This practical and engaging book provides evidence-based, proven tools to:

• create a culture of open and direct communication
• foster bias-free diversity and inclusion
• identify the small issues that are often a symptom of disrespect
• put an end to gossip and negativity
• improve collaboration and innovation.

Respect Trumps Harmony will help you to build resilient, adaptable and high-performing teams and maximise the benefits of personal differences.
