AWARD WINNER! Popular

Understanding and Addressing Stereotypes

Telly Award Winner! So... is it okay to express our frustration about a coworker that we think is a roadblock to productivity? Sure, if we do it for the right reasons and we do it the right way. This video situation highlights the wrong reason... done the wrong way... because a co-worker's frustration is based on assumptions and stereotypes that didn’t give the other person a chance.

Additional Information

The line between what we should and shouldn't say is pretty clear… but sometimes our biases and emotions can force us across the line, with some serious unintended consequences.

Being frustrated is natural and understandable. But the reason for that frustration needs to be examined carefully… for stereotypes.
