Today, we’re going to talk about breaking down walls between groups of employees. If you’ve worked in any large company you know there is typically an “us and them” attitude between groups of employees. Whether it’s management and employees, or white-collar and blue-collar, or marketing and engineering, there is often animosity between departments. And it can be severe at times. I ran into this problem at the first manufacturing plant I led and I eventually figured out a way to eliminate this attitude. This is an easy technique that any leader can use to build unity in their organization. I hope you enjoy!
The subject of eliminating us and them is covered in chapter 5 of my bestselling book, All in the Same Boat
