Asking and learning are basics. You do not have to agree, but recognize and understand that there are different ways. There’s a huge gain in being curious about other cultures.

I am in a doctoral program and the without collaboration I would have drowned a year ago. Bouncing ideas off colleagues helps to stimulate my learning experience, but ultimately, I have to go back to my corner to create. People like Steve Jobs, Gates, or Warren Buffet are all introverts and anomalies but they put in the work and sacrifice to get to the top. In addition, they had to collaborate to take their products or worth to the next level.

I remember Groupthink; if I am not mistaken, it emerged in the United States as the Quality movement became popular. In one instance, we were talking empowerment and tiger teams in the workplace and Groupthink. We did brainstorming and shared ideas on Post Its. The military used Group Think to work like a well-oiled machine. The problem, if you are trying to grow leaders, this process was not promoting individual thinking and initiative. The younger generations needs interaction to make decision because of the Groupthink mentality. This is a great article.
