Summary

Conflict At Work offers a practical guide to navigating workplace conflict, a common challenge impacting employee morale and organizational productivity. The book emphasizes that conflict, when properly managed, can be a catalyst for positive change. It reveals that unresolved disputes can lead to decreased productivity, increased employee turnover, and potential legal issues, highlighting the importance of effective conflict management.

 
The book uniquely advocates for proactive conflict management, focusing on preventive measures like establishing clear policies and fostering open communication, rather than solely reacting to disputes.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with identifying the root causes of conflict, such as interpersonal clashes or differing values, and then detailing intervention strategies like mediation, negotiation, and arbitration. Communication techniques, including active listening are emphasized. Readers will also find actionable strategies for HR Management and improving overall business management practices.

 
The book provides a structured approach, moving from understanding the dynamics of conflict to applying practical resolution techniques. The final sections discuss implementing preventive measures through policy and training, and fostering a culture of mutual respect. This approach helps organizations transform disagreements into opportunities for growth and stronger team cohesion.

 
The book's value lies in its ability to equip managers, HR professionals, and employees with the tools needed to foster a more positive and productive work environment through effective conflict resolution.

    More than a Glitch - Confronting...

    The word "glitch" implies an incidental error, as easy to patch up as it is to identify. But what if racism, sexism, and ableism aren't just bugs in mostly functional machinery—what if they're coded into the system itself? Meredith Broussard demonstrates in More Than a Glitch how neutrality in tech is a myth and why algorithms need to be held accountable. 
 
 
 
Broussard, a data scientist and one of the few Black female researchers in artificial intelligence, masterfully synthesizes concepts from computer science and sociology. She explores a range of examples: from facial recognition technology trained only to recognize lighter skin tones, to mortgage-approval algorithms that encourage discriminatory lending, to the dangerous feedback loops that arise when medical diagnostic algorithms are trained on insufficiently diverse data. Even when such technologies are designed with good intentions, Broussard shows, fallible humans develop programs that can result in devastating consequences. 
 
 
 
Broussard argues that the solution isn't to make omnipresent tech more inclusive, but to root out the algorithms that target certain demographics as "other" to begin with. With sweeping implications for fields ranging from jurisprudence to medicine, More Than a Glitch is a must-listen for anyone invested in building a more equitable future.

    How do you manage a poor performer over Zoom? How do you casually deliver positive feedback via Slack? What's the most professional use of a gif? 
 
 
 
Management was hard enough pre-pandemic, and now, the difficulty in getting things done has dramatically increased. In face-to-face interactions, humans have thousands of indicators to tell them what the other party is thinking and how they are reacting. Resorting to purely digital communication obliterates these clues, stopping us from reading the subtle body language we've evolved to use in all interactions to become better leaders, kinder managers, and more effective cogs in the corporate machine. 
 
 
 
How to Win Friends and Manage Remotely shares real-life examples, scientifically proven ideas, and distillations of tried-and-true business tenets—all mapped to a new virtual-first office. This book is a handbook—a step-by-step guide to common interactions in the workplace, using eight classic management examples: from digitizing your onboarding journey, to helping new recruits, to delivering useful feedback over video conference. Combining academic research and personal experiences across various companies, roles, and countries, this is a roadmap to get listeners through the WFH (work from home) quagmire and help us all be more cognizant of others' perspectives in this brave new world.
