Teaching Tangents

"How can I work with someone with whom I have nothing in common?"


Listen Later

Business, psychology, and geography teacher James D'Souza usually has questions from his high school students to discuss with Playful Strategy Consultant Willem van der Horst. This week James picked a fantastic question to discuss, a topic many of us have to deal with at one point or another:  "How can I work with someone with whom I have nothing in common, who thinks nothing like me, and with whom I have no feeling? Need help!"  We talked about problems, problem definition, the importance of being specific, the Dunning-Kruger Effect, Non-violent communication, Getting Things Done, being open and vulnerable, the importance of having a diversity of perspectives to solve problems, and more.
