Nitya Shekar leads a discussion of The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony by Jay J. Van Bavel, PhD and Dominic J. Packer, PhD. How can leaders harness identity to increase effectiveness?

In The Power of Us, Jay J. Van Bavel and Dominic J. Packer explore the subtle and not-so-subtle ways our sense of identity shapes our perception and behaviour. And they revise the conclusions from some classic studies in psychology based on more nuanced analysis.

NItya, Kate Arms, and Alyssa Dickman discuss how to intentionally create belonging, the impact of leaders' identities on organizations, and how a sense of identity can support or interfere with organizational effectiveness. 

Listen in if you're interested in creating inclusive cultures and belonging everywhere you are.
