How Political Polarization Is Changing Work

Politics has traditionally been a taboo topic to discuss on the
job. But as people get more vocal about their views -- on
everything from from climate change to racial justice, elections to
invasions -- it's increasingly hard to keep debate out of the
workplace. And that can lead to conflicts between colleagues. Julia
Minson of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and Francesca
Gino of Harvard Business School have studied how political
polarization is affecting organizations and have advice on handling
the challenges it presents. Together, they wrote the HBR article
“Managing A Polarized Workforce: How to Foster Debate and Promote
Trust.”
