What are some definitions of civility?

Page 11: Michael Kaufmann

Civility: (Spath and Dahnke; Institute for Civility in Government)

Civility is about more than just politeness, although politeness is a necessary first step. It is about disagreeing without disrespect, seeking common ground as a starting point for dialogue about differences, listening past one’s preconceptions, and teaching others to do the same. Civility is the hard work of staying present even with those with whom we have deep-rooted and fierce disagreements. Civility is claiming and caring for one’s identity, needs and beliefs without degrading someone else’s in the process.

Page 12: Michael Kaufmann

Civility: (Davetian, B; Civility: A Cultural History)

“…the extent to which citizens of a given culture speak and act in ways that demonstrate a caring for the welfare of others as well as the welfare of the culture they share in common.”

#1: Respect Others and Yourself

“Respect is like air. As long as it’s present, nobody thinks about it. But if you take it away, it’s all that people can think about.”

Two kinds of silence:

feedback

Page 26: Michael Kaufmann

Active Listening

• Eye contact

• Receptive body language

• Resist planning your own script

Page 27: Michael Kaufmann

Some principles of constructive feedback • Positive intent, well planned,

• Seek to understand motivation, goals

• Focus on accepted facts and observations, not the person or

interpretations

• Clarify expectations and preferred outcomes

• Clarify consequences / contingencies

• Leave the other feeling intact and OK

• Don’t forget praise!

Page 28: Michael Kaufmann

Civil Conversation Blockers:

• “You…” (finger wagging)

• “You always…” (exaggerated over-statement)

• “You never…” (exaggerated under-statement)

• “Don’t take this personally, but…” (it is personal)

• “With all due respect…” (it is not respectful)

• “If you don’t know, I shouldn’t have to tell you.” (mind reading)
