Acknowledge that we are all biased.
from Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions by Dan Ariely
How to Apply This
-
Acknowledge that you—and all of us—are biased.
When stripping away our preconceptions and our previous knowledge is not possible; perhaps we can at least acknowledge that we are all biased. -
Acknowledge that these biases limit and influence your perspective by creating expectations.
-
Look for a neutral third party.
If we find ourselves trapped within our perspective, which partially blinds us to the truth, we may understand that conflicts generally require a neutral third party—who has not been tainted with our expectations—to set down the rules and regulations.
