they have a common attribute

thinker and doer attributes during their games

not invalidate my feelings and opinion; also, they do not treat me differently although we do
have a lot of differences
ACTIVITY
Acknowledge the similarity bias. Humans are predisposed to be drawn towards those
who are similar and wary of those who differ – not just in obvious characteristics such as age,
race or gender, but in smaller, subtle ways such as upbringing, accent or dress sense.
Recognizing this natural bias in the workplace is the first step towards overcoming it. Pop the
filter bubble. One result of our preference for similarity is that we inadvertently filter out
information and opinions that differ from our own. Encourage people to broaden their view by
actively seeking out opposing views – you’ll see decision-making and creativity soar. Make it OK
to speak up. A ‘psychologically safe’ workplace is one where everyone feels free to express
themselves. Encourage and reward asking questions, suggesting ideas, giving feedback and
reporting mistakes without fear of repercussions, to cultivate a culture where everyone will
give it their all. Keep your door half open. Psychological safety is built in the everyday
interactions you have with your team. Make people feel valued by responding positively and
proactively to every request. Be available – both physically and psychologically – no matter
what your mood or workload. Identify your triggers. We’re all human, and we all have
characteristics we react negatively to – whether someone’s preference for hierarchy, or their
tendency to interrupt. By identifying what sets us off and learning to control it, we can create
an environment where everyone feels safe to be their true selves.
The world is ours from above. It is given to us so that we can take care of it, and the
people in it. We may not have the same beliefs, same race, same gender, and same choice, but
we must become one and unit for the betterment and for the own good of this world. Imagine
having world peace just because people are on the same page - amusing, right?
