Rotary International is known for actively promoting peace. Identifying root causes and using non-violent communication to get to mutual understanding and cooperation are important foundations for a world with less suffering.

In our experience working with many different organizations from 2 to 2000 people, we have learned that often people are suffering because there is too little conflict. It may be counter-intuititve that a high-performance organizational culture actually may need more organizational conflict, yet people thrive best when their teams can discuss conflicting ideas, values, and outcomes to uncover the best possible solutions.
