Coming Together, Not Apart: Building the Hearts, Minds, and Skills for Leading Across Differences
Part 3 of 3
Coming Together, Not Apart: Building the Hearts, Minds, and Skills for Leading Across Differences is the third of three Council on Foundations publications exploring philanthropy's involvement in developing the heartset, mindset, and skillset to lead collaboratively across differences. It discusses the leadership qualities required to advance this work and is designed to be an actionable resource that offers:
- Frameworks: What heartsets, mindsets, and skillsets are – and why they matter.
- Practices: Concrete actions individuals and organizations can take.
- Inspiration: Case studies and stories that illustrate these concepts.
- Reflections: Questions to prompt introspection and forward-thinking.
- Resources: Tools, research, and inspiration for further learning.
The third Coming Together, Not Apart publication examines how connecting and collaborating across differences doesn’t necessarily mean achieving resolution or agreement; rather, it means finding understanding and the ability to hold differences without contributing to “othering” or creating “us versus them” dynamics that can contribute to toxic polarization and violence.
This is the third part in the Coming Together, Not Apart publication series. Be sure to read the other publications in this series:
