“ You won't benefit from diverse perspectives if you aren't open to utilizing differences. ”
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.
~ Eunice Parisi-Carew
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.
The natural result of utilizing different perspectives is that people are more engaged because they feel their opinions are important.
