But how do you practically go about fostering a culture of respect? It’s not by keeping your opinions to yourself. In fact, Kim says sharing feedback and making space for disagreement is a sign of respect for one another.   Key takeaways: Respect begins with unconditional regard for humanity and it shouldn’t need to be earned We can disagree and do it in a respectful way Kim’s three steps to approach a boss to share criticism are: solicit feedback, focus on the good, ask if it’s a good time to share your thoughts    WHAT I LOVE MOST… Kim says you can’t address all of the unconscious biases in the world, but you can (and should) address the ones that will get in the way of your team working together.    Running Time: 36:55   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani Online: Facebook LinkedIn X   Find Kim Online: Website  LinkedIn    Kim’s Book:  Radical Respect
