Discussion Post: What Is Your Worldview?
As a human being, an employee, a manager or leader, or even as a friend, our values and beliefs shape who we are and how we act in various situations. In many cases, where we are from and how we were raised can have an important impact on the values and beliefs we hold dear. Think about the values and beliefs that help define you and shape your action. How can these values and beliefs help you during a conflict negotiation? How might they hurt you during the conflict negotiation process? As a manager or leader, how can you ensure your values and beliefs remain neutral and do not create a bias?
In this Discussion, explore your worldview and begin thinking about the values and beliefs that shape you.
