The rules and assumptions that govern our interactions are narrow. When one or both sides use this drive any situation or the outcome becomes limited to the response to those rules. The domino effect results in continued selection into the same cycle with no room for considering other innovations or novelties.
Sure individual or organization might say this is a way to assure the fit with our value or culture. And ironically most everyone will affirm the desire for creativity, against the grain thinking, unique perspective and and approaches.
But how can this be when it biases selection for the same qualities that define what you already are?
Do not fool or misconstrue this as openness. Openness is willingness to hear another perspective and to objectively consider it. To take the extra effort to understand it from another point of view or omniscient point of view.
