“ It's hard for managers to consider different perspectives if they never ask people what they think. ”
You won't benefit from diverse perspectives if you aren't open to utilizing differences.
~ Eunice Parisi-Carew
People need to feel safe to be who they are—to speak up when they have an idea, or to speak out when they feel something isn't right.
When people feel trusted, they'll begin to understand they are contributors--and you'll get great ideas and happy people.
The key to handling conflict is to make sure people understand it's okay to have an opposing view.
