Bridging Our Divides: The Spiral Way

By: Horner, Carol

Today, probably more than ever, we face polarization, politization, and destructive conflict all around us. These divides have permeated into our workplaces and our teams. It is imperative that we adapt, solve problems, and navigate this environment effectively, individually and collectively, for our organizations to thrive.

The Spiral of Accountability(TM) takes this complex dynamic of human interactions and simplifies it into a visual representation that helps us identify, name, and understand what is going on with us and those around us. It then shows a pathway toward improving our reactions to differences, disagreements, and conflict. This is a "how to" book. You will walk away with an understanding of how to use the Spiral of Accountability as a tool to bridge divides in your relationships, our community, and the world at large.

This book delves deeper into the Spiral as a pathway to improving our responses to our differences, disagreements, and conflict. It focuses on "how to" use the Spiral of Accountability(TM) as a tool to bridge divides not only in our teams and organizations but also in our relationships, our community, our nation, and the world at large. The Spiral provides guidance in pursuing understanding between individuals and groups. It promotes curiosity between and among differing identities. And yet, you (and I) still have to do the hard work

Please understand that while reading this book, you will read about politics and other challenging issues. Not because the author's goal is to promote a certain viewpoint, opinion, or belief, but because we learn better from sharing real stories rather than simple content and research data. In this book, she shares her experiences of growing and challenging herself to Spiral Up and to become a better human. You are encouraged to read with the mindset that you will learn from the shared interactions and experiences, as well as from the process outlined in those stories.
