To appreciate our differences and move to higher ground, we must have a diverse view, but share the common ground.
Interdependence and cooperation rather than domination are the only way to advance business communities, where prosperity is valued for its ability to offer a new world order that seeks the common good and overcomes the challenges facing humankind. What are the very characteristics of the modern world that reflect the spirit of holiday?
Inclusiveness: Contemporary organizations and advanced societies are diverse mixtures of peoples that can think differently, spark creativity and amplify innovation. We must embrace diversity and inspire inclusiveness, bringing in fresh ideas, diverse perspectives, and deep insight to make new creations and build better futures together. Real inclusiveness needs to focus on cognitive differences, skills, abilities and the wealth of ideas, to bridge a variety of gaps and improve decision effectiveness.
The business leaders must work with inclusive mindsets to create an inclusive organization with every dip in the business cycle. Orient people and make them aware of the value of inclusiveness of their organization or team, be comfortable to be who they are, practice creative thinking and critical thinking all the time, harness the unique competency and cognitive difference, empower people to speak out, provide invaluable feedback and spark creativity. With many minds brainstorming together, lightening up, we can observe a creative result that is beyond the capacity of any one individual. So diversity will be transcendent to the next level of human advancement when having a common purpose and collective insight.
Interconnectivity: The black and white boundaries continue to diminish due to information permeating everywhere in the environment and the occurrence of increased integration across boundaries. A connective mind is full of potential, free from psychological inertia; expanded thinking box to connect wider dots for spurring abundant thoughts effortlessly. A connected world is full of potential as people cross the world can leverage digital information technology to communicate and collaborate smoothly; resources can be realigned scientifically; processes can be optimized to build dynamic capabilities, the organizational ecosystem can reach the “superconscious” state by synchronizing information to accelerating speed of change and creating synergy.
Connectivity is the “nature” of modern society in which key resources and assets can be connected to build innovation hubs and clusters across the digital ecosystem. That, in turn, will further fuel creative energy and harness cross-disciplinary collaboration. The world needs more “bridge-like” minds to fill gaps and connect differences. We all belong to the hyper-connected and interdependent global world, seeing the context we are 'part of, allows us to identify the leverage points of the organizational ecosystem and then 'choose' the 'decisive' factors, in the attempt to guide the corporate actions and behavior on the way to adapt to changes smoothly and achieve high performance results consistently.
Interaction: Sometimes, it’s not easy to bring all talented people and mold them into an effective team as people have different character, personality, perception, life habits. Either you are introvert or extrovert, leaders should interact with their team continuously and invest in personalized communication within their team members to achieve growth on a greater scale. Collaborative technologies provide platforms for content creation, distribution, consuming, co-creation and transformation, enabling social behaviors to take place online, endowing diverse group interactions with scale and speed.
It’s important to build an innovative workforce which continues to depoliticize working culture, dismantle bureaucracy, and harness group interactions for sparking creativity. What matters is how open the working environment is to harness the spontaneity of people's interactions, as well as how productively those interactions can bring great ideas and implement them to achieve their value. By interacting frictionlessly, trust can be built, accountability can be enforced, the team fit or the organizational fit manifested in accepted and expected behavior, has a way of neutralizing differences to create synergy.
The digital nature of hyper-connectivity and interdependence makes it inevitable to break down silos, and ensure the digital boundaries are permeable. To appreciate our differences and move to higher ground, we must have a diverse view, but share the common ground. It’s about understanding and respecting unique traits of each individual, learning from each other, complementing each other’s strength, and collaborating to unlock collective potential.
