Perspective Taking, Diversity & Creativity

According to research findings, heterogeneous teams perform more creatively than homogeneous teams. This seems to be particularly true when they engage in perspective taking. In other words, taking perspectives of teammates and investing cognitive energy in understanding one's teammates' approaches seem to enable diverse teams to bring out their creative potential by engendering a comprehensive evaluation of the ideas and integrating the different perspectives.

      Somehow Perez shows perspective taking, too. And creativity, of course. Thank you for your lovely comment, Tim!
