People Skills Chat on Twitter Dec. 8, 2013 TOPIC: Do Opposites Attract or Repel at Work?
Join People Skills Chat on Twitter Sun. Dec. 8, 2013 10am ET.
If people like to work with those who are like them, it has great implications on fair hiring practices, inclusion at work, opportunities for advancement. Thus in this Sunday’s people skills chat, we will explore diverse views on whether opposites attract or repel at work.
- Do we seek opposites in our personal life but our clones at work?
- What if anything about human nature seeks similarity?
- Do we handle opposite points of view differently at home and at work?
- When do we psychologically seek differences?
- Do people who crave change accept differences more easily?
- What suggestions would you offer to people who are uncomfortable with differences?
- Where does fear play a role in all this?
- Do homogeneous teams produce better results than teams of diverse people?
These are just some questions to get us thinking before we begin the people skills chat this Sunday. Actual questions will post live during the chat.
So bring your personal perspective, your favorite beverage, and join us from around the globe this Sunday in people skills chat on Twitter — Dec. 8, 2013 10am ET — to explore People Skills: Do Opposites Attract or Repel Especially at Work?
