DIVERSITY OF IDEAS AT WORK

These days most people think of diversity in terms of race or ethnicity. While it is important to have individuals from different cultures, the real value is in their diversity of thought. Debate, discussion, and discourse are what develop and improve ideas.

You want your workplace to be filled with people who see the world in different ways but know how to collaborate with one another. If everyone looks different but thinks the same way, you're going to get the same results.

The philosophers of old were able to develop their ideas and viewpoints by testing them through debate and discussion. This open dialogue creates a spirit of growth and collaboration. Ideas should be challenged, not feared or avoided. Because of this, it is important to develop a workplace that encourages and supports a safe environment to express and refine ideas, not suppress them.

If someone has a misguided perspective on an issue, it is important to let them say it. Then you can offer a counterpoint. If you never let them speak in the first place or make them feel that they aren't free to speak, you deny them the opportunity to learn.

Silencing opposition is what tyrants do, and it does not encourage or inspire workers. It oppresses them. Make sure your employees feel free to disagree with you, even if they are wrong.

It may seem counterintuitive, but listening to an opposing viewpoint will gain you respect in the eyes of the person expressing it. This is especially true if you can remain humble and respectful.

That's not to say you have to agree with them, of course. But providing a chance for your employees and coworkers to freely express their thoughts and concerns is essential to developing and sustaining a productive and positive workplace.

Encouraging Collaboration

A workforce should be, first and foremost, a team. A team works together to achieve a common goal. These goals should be clearly stated and communicated by leadership. Once the goals are established, there should be a plan to achieving them.
