[MCP] developing/enhancing relationships

[LaShawn Williams]

For what it's worth, I've recently seen a "diversity" training by
Visionpoint, Inc called "Speak up for Respect in the workplace: M.E.E.T. on
Common Ground" The video is about 20 minutes long and it addresses ways
that you encourage respect among people in the workplace via a majority of
"-ism" frameworks (racism, sexism, ageism, stereotypes, etc). It's not
going to make anyone into an anti-ism activist in a day, however, it does
provide folks with the tools to address disrespectful events (particularly
the "minor" ones that build and build into lawsuits) when they see them. 

 

Here's some info - and a link.

About the Program: 

The desire to be treated with respect is something we all have in common,
especially in the workplace. The M.E.E.T. approach (Make time to discuss;
Explore differences; Encourage respect; Take personal responsibility)
counteracts shame, blame and stereotyping that create toxic environments
and undermine productivity. Through M.E.E.T., employees learn to recognize,
respond to and resolve situations arising from individual and cultural
differences. 

This program features the M.E.E.T. model: 

M - Make time to discuss
E - Explore differences
E - Encourage respect
T - Take personal responsibility

Learning Point Highlights: 

*	Encourages personal responsibility in creating a respectful
workplace 
*	Provides a proven, four-step process that builds mutual respect 
*	Offers practical examples and advice for resolving difficult
situations

How would you foster relationships among Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, "Native
Americans," and Whites around common concerns affecting us all?

Is there something wrong with this question?

"Whoever stops to wait for ideas to triumph among the majority of the
masses before initiating revolutionary action will never be a
revolutionary... And what distinguishes the true revolutionary from the
false revolutionary is precisely this: one acts to move the masses, the
other waits for the masses to have a conscience already, before starting to
act." 
            -- Fidel Castro
