Bücher von Shola Richards

In Go Together, workplace positivity expert Shola Richards suggests replacing divisiveness and incivility with a commitment to living, working, and leading together to positively change the world. Go Together begins with the story of an impactful keynote speech Richards gave at a conference on workplace civility and a powerful concept: Ubuntu. A transcendent African philosophy, Ubuntu represent the power of human connectedness, compassion, kindness, and togetherness. It was the central theme of his speech on that day, and it also serves as the central theme of this book. He hopes that it becomes a rallying cry on his journey. Among the subjects that Richards covers are developing empathy through curiosity; the beliefs that destroy connection (and what to do about them); the eight keys to Ubuntu at work; four ways you can cultivate more warmth as a leader; resilience and digging deep to keep moving forward; standing up to bigotry, hate, and intolerance; and more. Richards writes, "The only thing that is required of us to stop the recurring pattern of the painful lessons of the past is to commit to go together from this point forward."
