Lisa Gable: “We see people on their good days and we see them on their bad days. We make assumptions about who they are as a result of how they exhibit their personality at a moment in time. The reality is–we don't know what's going on in that person's life, we really don't. 

So if you start with the assumption that the person with whom you are dealing is a good person and perhaps the way in which they are reacting to a situation isn't what you would want, there is hope that you could come to know them better. 

This gives us the opportunity to appreciate who they truly are as a whole person. 

We have a tendency to be very judgmental, especially today in social media and politics when we’ve only seen a tiny aspect of someone's life.

In managing people for over forty years, I am always stunned at how someone would immediately assume their colleague was out to get them. It's been even more noticeable in the last five years.

My father was so amazing at finding something uniquely special about everyone he met. Even if they were the most annoying person on the face of the earth, he could find a specialness in them.

So look for that unique special kernel of an individual and help bring it out of them, so together you can explore it.”
