We are not trained to listen to our own assumptions. In my current workplace , we highlight the dizzying effect of assumptions on our work environment and outcomes. In our rational thinking society, assumptions are part of the philosophy. It goes like this:

The human at work is a rational/economic being who will trade human discretion and social interaction for money. Managers make decisions, control is assumed, training is task oriented. People act as extensions of machines. A person is a redundant part.

Managers live in ‘Philosophy, assumptions and theory=”The Talk”.
Employees live in organisation and practice. =”The Walk”.
Leaving assumptions and being present to take responsibility for what is said and and done is one of my biggest learning curves every day.
