Perception and Work Behavior

When dealing with people with different perceptions, consider the following.

Consider whether you might be misinterpreting the situation. See whether you have jumped to conclusions before you receive enough information. What needs and biases color you perception of things. What are you being sensitive about?

Consider whether others might be misinterpreting the situation, or interpreting differently from you. So listen to people, and get to know what their blind spots and biases are. Try to see things through their eyes.

When handling a task or a problem get the people involved to define the situation as they see it. Then every one will know what they mean and difference of perception can be cleared up before they can cause any confusion.
