August - Is the Golden Rule Dangerous? By Matt Weis

Description: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, …”  Seems like a bullet proof guide to success – right?  While there is certainly a deeper biblical meaning, taking its face value as a prescription for behavior can be a recipe for unproductive conflict, miscommunication, and broken commitment. 

These dysfunctions, in the context of workplace safety, can result in injuries.  In this action packed (relatively speaking) presentation, you’re invited to explore how getting comfortable with the idea of treating people differently based on behavioral preference/style might create safer outcomes. You will learn about one assessment, similar to many others, used in many large businesses to create a common language for behavior. 

Key principals include: different is different, moving beyond judgment and two important variables.  By the end, you may conclude that adopting a common language for behavior will save you time, improve relationships and help create a safer workplace.
