Why Haven't You Called Out the $50 Billion (Elephant in the room) Person?You already know which two people in your organization cannot respect each other. Everyone works around them. Nobody has quite&nbsp;said it out loud. The off-sites did not fix it. The restructuring&nbsp;did not fix it. The dysfunction is still running.MIT Sloan puts the annual cost of that dynamic at fifty billion&nbsp;dollars, in the US alone. Not morale. Dollars.Today's guest, Bobby Bakshi, was born in India, raised across&nbsp;multiple countries including Jamaica, and arrived in the United&nbsp; States as a proud Indian American. At twelve years old, alone as&nbsp;an unaccompanied minor on a Pan Am flight across the world, he&nbsp;learned what he now teaches senior executives at Fortune 500&nbsp;companies. How to navigate difference without a map.&nbsp;At Microsoft, that skill saved the company $14 million in vendor costs by bridging the cultural divide between US and India teams in a way that actually changed behavior.&nbsp;Most organizations still classify what he did as a soft skill.Bobby created The Respect Quotient, a seven-step&nbsp;structured intervention built on a single conviction. Before you&nbsp;can trust someone, you have to respect them as a human being&nbsp;first.He also spent a decade doing his own inner work through The&nbsp;Mankind Project.
