- Listen thoughtfully before telling other people at work how things should be in the workplace. There is much to learn from the individuals you work with and much to be gained in terms of new ideas and a better understanding of others.
- Put into practice an appreciation for the perspectives and values of others, especially those in younger generations. That appreciation for others should be displayed through the way you act and in the things you say.
- Daily seek to put yourself in the shoes of another person at work you don’t understand so that you can break away from limited thinking that may stifle your own creativity and viewpoint. You owe it to yourself. Changing work cultures for the better occurs as people face their blind spots and model an evolution in their own thinking.
