The Power of Civility in a Divided World
In a world that feels increasingly divided, the idea of civility can seem antiquated or even irrelevant. But civility is not a relic of the past; it is a powerful tool that can bridge gaps, heal wounds, and inspire meaningful change in our communities.
Civility is more than just politeness. It is the intentional practice of respect, empathy, and understanding—even when we disagree. It’s about seeing the humanity in others, choosing collaboration over confrontation, and building connections that transcend our differences.
The beauty of civility is that it starts small. It can be as simple as listening without interrupting, pausing to consider another’s perspective, or offering a kind word in the midst of tension. These small acts, when multiplied, create ripples of positive change that can transform our environments—from our workplaces to our communities.
The truth is, civility requires courage. It takes strength to respond with grace instead of anger, to seek understanding instead of judgment. But the rewards are profound. When we practice civility, we create spaces where people feel valued and heard, paving the way for innovation, collaboration, and progress.
As co-founder of GSE MBA, I believe that civility is essential to great leadership. Our program fosters the mindset and skills necessary for entrepreneurs and business leaders to navigate challenges with integrity, communicate effectively, and build lasting relationships.
