A) Books & Papers:
When the foreword of your book is written by Ken Blanchard, you are already playing in a special division. That is surely the case for this newly revised and updated book by Susan Scott, called "Fierce Conversations". I'm sharing this book because I see every day, through my work and actually through my life, how many intelligent and caring people remain silent and bend to the decisions of the unwise.
At this point in time where we are "harvesting" all the problems, relating to Western democracies non-functioning because they have looked away (knowingly or unknowingly) from each major challenge for the last 40 years. To name some. Migration, climate change, the war on drugs, the rise of more authoritarian regimes, resource wars, and geopolitical-, diplomatic, economic, and military power play.
