While working with staff, Sandra underscores the perspectives represented on the staff and their strengths as well as those perspectives that are missing. Identifying team blind spots and naming the missing perspectives leads to ensuring those perspectives are included in discussions and decision-making. Asking a staff member to bring the missing perspective into the meeting offers an effective way of increasing cognitive diversity on the team.
