CALIBRATE YOUR PERCEPTION: Others Might Be Right
We all have our versions of reality, so it helps when our reality, at least in essential aspects, is similar to the one out there. (Thanks, Science!)
When we work in a group, it helps to understand how our coworkers see the reality.
"Calibrating our optics" involves actively engaging with others' views and beliefs. We can observe people's actions and interactions, ask them questions, and read relevant documents.
