The Dialogue Project recently led a session at the Page Society’s annual conference focused on the impact a polarized society has on business, and what some business leaders today are doing about that. In the following two short videos, Bob Feldman, founder of the Dialogue Project, explains the severity of the challenge and how business and politics are now inextricably linked, and James Atkinson, vice president  of thought leadership at SHRM, quantifies the problem and provides revealing data on incivility in the workplace and the scale of political discourse presently taking place.
