How Can We Help?
Appreciation and Incivility
I send most of my body language and intuition tips via v-mail (short videos delivered to your inbox).
Cortina, et al, reviewed and synthesized articles for 15 years of incivility research and then posed novel questions with the hopes of nudging research in a new direction [1]. In their synopsis they state “Incivility refers to rude, condescending, and ostracizing acts that violate workplace norms of respect, but otherwise appear mundane. Organizations sometimes dismiss these routine slights and indignities— which lack overt malice—as inconsequential. However, science has shown that incivility is a real stressor with real consequences: though the conduct is subtle, the consequences are not.”
Dr. Paul White has written many articles on how to transform the workplace, including ones with incivility at their core [2]. The consequences of incivility can be severe; what action can you take?
