As we learn more about who we are and how we orient to the world, we begin to develop a strong sense of self. Psychological assessments and diagnostics further confirm many of the features of our personality that are highly fixed. The traits and predispositions that make us who we are are tied deeply to our biology and heredity. Understanding and respecting our psychology is essential work for leaders and team members.
Classification is a reductionist simplification strategy to enable modelling of situations to facilitate prediction of the next situation and production of decision models. But then the brain kicks in...it makes you believe that the simplification is the truth. In an organizational sense it is very tempting to work with lists of criteria to justify decisions.
Leadership and management should then set an example in releasing grip on the model and look at what happens from moment to moment as a newly arisen situation. Then re-assess and re-model with the new data.
