Bad taste is ignorance, not difference
Don’t confuse bad taste with “taste” you don’t like.
That’s arrogance. It has no place in a work style conducive to leadership.
Ignorance is a lack of knowledge
- For example, if I worked for a company that wanted to launch a content strategy, and they didn’t know what WordPress was, that’s ignorance.
Difference comes from worldview
- If that company wanted to use Drupal and hated WordPress, then that’s a difference.
Instead of seeing it in my way, I now have a challenge. As a changemaker, it’s now my job to understand why they want Drupal.
Don’t look at it as bad taste. It isn’t; it’s a learning opportunity.
People take different paths, like it says in the Diff’rent Strokes theme song:
“What might be right for you may not be right for some”
The difference between two styles creates art.
