Program Description:
Incivility can fracture a team, splintering members’ sense of psychological safety and hampering team effectiveness. Dr. Christine Porath will discuss how civility and trust can improve performance and enhance team science: by reciprocating respectful actions, we can create a more inclusive climate, and enable greater trust and collaboration. She will discuss the importance of self-awareness and share recommendations and skills for improving communication across differences. Porath will also provide insights on what we can do to boost our effectiveness in helping to create a thriving environment grounded in your organization or your values.
Key Takeaways:
1. List three costs of incivility (e.g., mental health, performance, stress) and three benefits of civility (e.g., inclusion, collaboration, performance) to clients, their teams, and their organizations.
2. Describe one method for helping a person, clinician, or leader reflect on how civil they are so they are able to link the consequences to their actions.
3. Discuss how rudeness, incivility and negativity is contagious based on scientific evidence.
4. Provide individuals with several antidotes to incivility to better cope with the effects on them and those they interact with.
