Diversity We must go beyond tolerance, which is simple delayed rejection. We must promote full acceptance of those who in some ways are different from ourselves and our organizations. In order to do this, differences must be viewed as possibilities and not problems. Each person has a different set of eyes, a different lens through which they observe the world. This is essential for effective coaching.
Differences create energy, which can be turned into creativity if there is dignity and trust.
Different people and different types of people equal different assets. The tensions created through differences can energize and need not create conflict. If we live as if we know the right way, we can never accept diverse peoples as equals. We must remember different people do not, cannot see the world in the same way physically. According to Ollala, the world is different to each person.
