Introduction

This event is one in a series of online Knowledge Cafés on Conversational Leadership run on the Zoom video conferencing platform.

Each Café is themed on material from my online blook on Conversational Leadership.

Before each Café, I may ask you to do a little homework and read one or more posts in my blook relating to the theme.

If you are not familiar with the Knowledge Café concept, this event is participatory. It is  NOT a webinar.

You do not need to have taken part in an earlier Knowledge Café to participate in this one. All my Knowledge Cafés are stand-alone.


David will speak to the following theme of this Café and pose a question to trigger the conversation. We will then divide into break-out rooms for three rounds of small group conversations followed by a whole group conversation.

Theme: Why is respect important in society?

When people disagree with us over things we care deeply about, it is far too easy to assume they are stupid or jump to the conclusion that they are bad people, are selfish, vindictive, stubborn, arrogant, or unreasonable. We fail to agree constructively; we demonize them and do not show them respect.

You do not need to respect someone or their ideas to show them respect.

As a society, we have come to a point where people too often treat one another as objects and opportunities, rather than as fellow human beings.

Respecting one another as individuals, or not doing so, seriously impacts the future ­ for all of us.
