Why far-right groups co-opt Norse symbols
Many scholars argue that the best way to counter far-right misuse is to drown it out with positive and accurate representations of Norse myth—the position I took in my recent retelling. But in the wake of the mass shooting in Norway in 2011 by Anders Breivik, who named his guns after weapons of the Norse gods, as well as the 2019 Christchurch mass shooter Brenton Tarrant, with his allusions to Valhalla, and of this latest poster boy of far-right insurrection, we have to think very hard about whether this is the right approach to counter a truly global extremist movement.

Additionally, when new teams are being built, leaders will benefit to look at all the interpersonal factors. How have these individuals interacted with each other historically? Can I add a particular skill set or management style to the mix to encourage an inclusive team dynamic? Leaders can also take simple actions on existing teams, especially in meetings, to ensure all voices are heard. This might include paying more attention to turn-taking, crediting ideas to the correct people, soliciting the opinions of quieter team members and ensuring meeting structures that are inclusive, like sending agendas ahead … [Read more...] about Why equitable workplaces depend on your team’s makeup (not just outstanding hires)
