In its annual Spring 2016 issue on leadership, Public Sector Digest featured an in-depth article on workplace incivility by industry expert Sharone Bar-David. In her article, entitled “Leaders, Mind Your Broken Windows or Pay the Price of Workplace Incivility,” Bar-David discusses common missteps in leadership that play a role in creating workplace incivility and describes the palpable effects of incivility on teamwork, collaboration, and innovation. She suggests a multipronged strategy to building a psychologically safe organizational or team culture, founded on a window-minding approach—a strategy that boosts civility in civil service (and beyond).
