Dr Cole Galloway started us off by calling all the weirdos in the world to unite and that he feels like it is about fit more than anything else.
Kierra Caissey added that all of those words, unique, positive and weird are judgment words and bonus points to her for being able to bring in the reference to the Island of misfit toys from Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer.
Leave it to the HR expert in the room, Justin Dorsey, to bring it back to culture and the realization if everyone is a great “fit” and no one is unique or thinks differently you end up with groupthink. He suggested cultural add rather than cultural fit.
Is it different if an individual person judges you and positive, unique or weird versus a group of people all deciding you don’t fit in with them?
What do you think? What makes the difference?
