I said it, dismiss them. Now hear me out.

When we talk about leadership and HR we focus solely on you- the manager/employer.

⮕differences in reactions and interpretations of events

⮕different lifestyles

⮕values are aligned with individual experiences


And all of these make up our personalities.
