We hire people who are more alike to us than those with stark differences. When we hire, we seek compatibility, others with qualities that resonate and appeal to us. We want those we like, and in return, we hope they will like us as well.
What do we do when the person we hire no longer is in our favor and begins to disagree with us? We become dissatisfied with their thinking, their output, and their behaviors. Unfortunately, this is the same person we were in favor of recently.
With whom are we unhappy? Do we recognize that their supposed failings are those we are prone to? Their behavior mirrors ours in many ways, and we begin to see it and understand that they could be us, and since it is not who we would want others to see us as, we begin to reject the notion along with the person.
What is the cause of our discontent? Let’s self-correct, and in doing so, we may be able to impart similar wisdom onto others.
