• There is no way to avoid differences in the workplace.
• With proper understanding and skill such differences can be harnessed for better work environment.
• To deny it can be worse.
The Sandbox ApproachTip 03 – Embrace Differences
• This technique of creating a positive work environment is:– Formal: it can be applied through a
central software system that shares tasks and work activities.
– Informal: it happens when we share food inside the office.
• Sharing food inside the workplace creates a friendly environment that money can’t buy.
The Sandbox ApproachTip 04 – Sharing and Giving
• It would be nice to create another sharing system where people learn to give advice to others by way of learning from previous experience.
• Such approach sends a signal to the team that people have the freedom to fail, to ask and to contribute.
The Sandbox ApproachTip 05 – Freely Give and Freely Receive
