It’s a word often used in a political context, as we are all well aware. Today, though, I am thinking about it in an even broader way, and it actually touches on different topics I’ve written about in the past. I hope I can pull these different elements together in a way which makes sense and is helpful to all. In the past, I’ve twice blogged about acknowledging we are not omni-knowledgeable. Last February, in, I wrote about the different ways in which we tackle the fact that we don’t know everything. Four months later, in, I spoke about how wisdom comes from learning from others and that everyone can be a teacher. It’s a point that I’ve also made in LinkedIn articles, sometimes sneaking in a different perspective.

In, while I ask that those in management welcome input from front line employees who don’t share the c-suite, I also make the point that when workers have a “small head,” a narrower view, there is lost opportunity for more to be accomplished. To some extent, I chalk it up to poor communications (and have on how to improve that), but really, the bigger issue is understanding that everyone knows something you do not and that the extent of what you know and have experienced isn’t all there is to know.

This isn’t true only in business. Regarding academia, Vox just published an excellent piece calling for. As more and more academic journals are finding that studies they’ve published are not as replicable as they had wanted, it calls into question both the integrity of those researching and publishing but also the confidence people have in the studies themselves. Having taken a semester on quantitative and qualitative research, I can’t pretend to know enough, but my gut told me that quantitative research’s marriage to statistical formulas without what sufficient thought about the size and qualifiers of the sample or the meaningfulness of outliers is a recipe for missing something. Qualitative research paints a different picture. Instead of trying to say, “This is true for all since it’s true for this group we looked at under controlled circumstances,” it says, “Let’s paint a picture based on the stories we’ve gathered.” But again, we must remind ourselves that these pictures, too, are limited by the perspectives and words of the storyteller-subjects, let alone those of the researcher. Like movies and books, recognition that one person’s story isn’t everyone’s is just as important as the recognition that a broad description of a limited size group isn’t either.

Goes beyond academia, touching on politics and personal lives, and the importance of understanding the implications of being married to a view to the exclusion of all others. (Please do read it!) Different views can coexist.

Doesn’t mean they’re all equal or that they’re equally true. But it does mean that you need to make room in your world for others. Vdi 2230 part 1. The article talks about humility, about the need to remove ego from the equation.
