Synopsis:
Stereotypes and biases can destroy an organization from the inside. They tear apart morale, creativity and motivation. Everyone has stereotypes and biases, but it's how we use them that makes all the difference. A stereotype is a generalized view of a person based on life experience. Essentially, we put people in a box just based on a shared trait. A stereotype can be positive or negative, but always can be dangerous when used at work. Biases are predispositions to see the world or people in a certain way. A bias isn't necessarily a bad thing until it offends or is used to the detriment of a co-worker. In the workplace, we can't allow these feelings to effect how we treat people.
