Connecting between differences produces better and more beneficial results.

The initial tendency of any manager or business owner is to find people like him or with similar nature to his qualities. I prefer someone to speak my language, to be good to me.
There are people who are directly opposed to me and it's not because they are bad, God forbid .. they just do not approach problems like me or read the map like me or express themselves differently than me.
Who promised that if you chose people like you, you would be able to manage them better?
Is diversification of human resources in a company or organization at all necessary?
How can the diversity and difference between us be exploited into something fertile and effective?
It is known that different people have different perspectives on reality.
Each has his own character through which he experiences reality. From thoughts, feelings, tendencies to the psychological structure, which completely affects the different interpretation of things to the same subject.
One, can calmly respond to something, which the other considers stress. One, be afraid of something, while the other will see it as challenge and excitement.
Dr. Ido Magen, a senior intern in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the Davidson Institute of Science, not only confirmed this, he also pointed that there are even differences between us in the way we experience so-called objective mirrors, like colors. The colors we see depend on processing different wavelengths, so even in this we are different.
There is no one in the world like you, who has your outlook on life and all the combination of qualities within you, claimed from your birth and unique only to you.
But what is the reality that no one takes into account ..? That every person actually feels that way…
It is already a proven thing that a connection between differences, produces a better result in the level of benefit. In any field, micro or macro, whether it is in relationships, collaborations, joint ventures, businesses and teams in the workplace.

When there is mutual fertilization and proper connection in the face of common tasks, differences and diversity can be an advantage. But it does not always turn out that way… Why ??
It takes us 7 seconds to decide if we are connecting with the person in front of us and we all have prejudices about different social groups. Organizations today need in addition to diversity to also create a sense of cohesion, involvement and acceptance.
Managing an inclusive work environment is seen by many managers as something that is not committed in reality and is not a top priority. This perception is fundamentally wrong because an inclusive work environment is the winning card of the organization and allows it to improve business performance.
In a study conducted by one of the largest management consulting firms around the world: “McKinsey & Company” on diversity and inclusion, we interviewed senior executives from 1,000 different organizations in 15 countries.
52% of managers answered that the issue of diversity is an important value in the company while only 29% mentioned the issue of inclusion!
So it's great that you want all diversity of people from all ranges of society and it's even recommended, but it is not enough, without a process that will help them work together over the differences between them, will not give results, a deeper process is required here ...

Connecting differences can be properly channeled by creating the right emotional culture among the participants in the organization.
This will strengthen your global reputation and so of the organization or team and a new world of opportunities will open up in front of you ...

The basics of human communication are a sensitive and necessary area of investment today.

The person spends a third of his life in the workplace. The social climate to which the employee is exposed during the hours he stays there often affects him later on, it is difficult to avoid this.
This is what is called: “Emotional contagion”. There is a significant difference between being 8 hours near supportive and smiling employees in comparison to apathetic and self-centered employees.
