TIP 7: PROVIDE
FLEXIBILITY
FOR DIFFERING
OPINIONS.
If you disagree with someone, you may
not want to listen to them. However,
providing flexibility for differing opinions
helps form common ground and manage
conflicts. Clear your mind of any
preconceived notions, avoid interjecting,
and take all discussions as ones that
could benefit you and the community.
Removing biases allows you to be open to
what others are saying, helping to prevent
future miscommunication. As a board
member, you must do what's best for
the community, not yourself or a group.
Keeping an open mind and remaining
neutral are major ethical standards that
are crucial in fulfilling your duties.
