I know two people quite well, and their ways of thinking and imagining the world differ. The first person is an introvert who prefers to work in a solitary environment, tends to be analytical and logical in their decision-making process, relies heavily on facts and data to support their conclusions, and often takes a long time to decide. On the other hand, the second person is an extrovert who enjoys working collaboratively with others and is more creative and intuitive in their decision-making process. They rely heavily on their gut feelings and are more likely to make decisions quickly. Both of these people tend to be open-minded and willing to consider other perspectives, and both seek to understand the big picture before deciding on a course of action. They also value fairness and seek to do what is suitable for the greater good.
My way of thinking and imagining the world is similar to that of the two people I know because I am open-minded and willing to consider other perspectives. However, I am more analytical and logical in my decision-making process, and I take longer to decide. I also tend to be more creative. Although we think differently, our workgroup could be more diverse. Diversity implies more than just different ways of thinking; it also implies different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Since we all come from similar backgrounds, have similar experiences, and share similar perspectives, our workgroup could be more diverse.
Additionally, my understanding of the meaning of diversity has changed significantly since considering this question. Before, I thought of diversity only regarding visible characteristics such as race and gender. However, after considering this question, I now understand that diversity also encompasses other, less visible characteristics, such as ways of thinking and understanding the world. I now understand that diversity is about understanding and appreciating differences, and it is essential for organizations to have a diverse workforce to make the best decisions.
