Reviews"This book is a must-read, particularly for organizational leaders seeking purposeful insights." --Calvin Banks, Senior Vice President of People Development and Culture, Pyramid Global Hospitality "Jones-Fosu's work is a call not just for leaders to better communicate with their teams but for the everyday person to humanize those they disagree with." --Cy Wakeman, New York Times bestselling author of The Reality-Based Rules of the Workplace "Justin's book is an amazing read and should be a staple in any organization's leadership library. I'm excited to put what I've learned from reading this into action!" --Toby Atkinson, National Director of DEI and Management Programs, Cintas " I Respectfully Disagree is a timely, heartfelt, and actionable guide for anyone seeking to engage in deeper, more constructive conversations. It's ideal for professionals, families, and anyone striving to connect across differences with empathy and respect. If you've ever found yourself dreading confrontations or unsure how to disagree without damaging relationships, this book will give you the tools to navigate those challenges with confidence and care. Highly recommended!" --Literary Titan "I was very impressed by how the arguments in this book were so solidly grounded in reality. This isn't some wishful plea to "play nice," Rather, it's a thoughtful analysis of how humans make assumptions about others, and how to move past those assumptions to create better outcomes. I particularly appreciated the book's focus on individual choice. This applies to seeking to understand others, deciding when to delineate and enforce personal boundaries, and differentiating between debates about ideology versus personal attacks, among other aspects. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to heal wounds in their relationships with others. Even if we disagree strongly about things, each step we take to build bridges rather than erect barriers between us can lead to greater possibilities to solving seemingly intractable problems." --Nonfiction Book Awards "One of the key strengths of Justin Jones-Fosu's writing is his ability to blend personal anecdotes with actionable advice, making the guidance relatable. The "5 Pillars of Bridging the Divide" offers a structured approach to improving dialogue. These include challenging one's perspective, being a student in conversations, cultivating curiosity, seeking the gray areas in discussions, and agreeing to respect." --Readers' Favorite, "This book is a must-read, particularly for organizational leaders seeking purposeful insights." --Calvin Banks, Senior Vice President of People Development and Culture, Pyramid Global Hospitality "Jones-Fosu's work is a call not just for leaders to better communicate with their teams but for the everyday person to humanize those they disagree with." --Cy Wakeman, New York Times bestselling author of The Reality-Based Rules of the Workplace "Justin's book is an amazing read and should be a staple in any organization's leadership library.
