Moving beyond mere tolerance, us-versus-them is the costly mind-set in which organizations, communities, and whole nations too often find themselves trapped. In fact, recognizing difference as a positive force can bring astonishing value to even the most diverse organizations. In Us Plus Them, leadership scholar Todd Pittinsky introduces a groundbreaking new science of diversity that:

  • Debunks the assumption that wherever there is difference there will be inherent tension and animosity
  • Challenges the effectiveness of our standard attempts to fight prejudice and combat hate in our schools and workplaces, our civic and religious lives
  • Reveals how we benefit from the mixing of different ethnic, racial, national, social, and religious groups in a globalized world
