Evaluating Organizational Peacemaking Culture• Do people show genuine respect for the
opinions, interests and reputation of others?
• When there is a disagreement, do people try to speak the truth in a loving way?
• Do people resolve disagreements constructively among themselves?
• Do people value relationships and work hard to preserve them?
• Do leaders provide a consistently positive example of resolving conflict?
• Do people show compassion toward others who are very different or difficult to love?
