Diplomacy isn't just for diplomats, politicians, and world leaders. It's a crucial skill for navigating everyday interactions, whether at work, home or in social situations. For over two decades, I taught a graduate seminar, Global Corporate Diplomacy. Most of my students were middle-level business managers and military officers. At its core, diplomacy is about understanding, connecting, and persuading. It's a skill that can enhance every interaction, improving our lives and those around us.
