What do you do when no one will recognise your point of view?
This situation happens a lot in the workplace, there's a good few times I could have said 'I told you so' but I'm bigger than that, well... sometimes!
For an NT to take on a new idea that's outside of their developed culture or set of beliefs they need a bunch of their peers to be on board with that idea too. A new idea suggested to one person could be dismissed, even with logic. But, If a bunch of them adopt that idea as their own , through a set of discussions involving others, it's more easily accepted. In my experience nothing is ever put in place instantly even if the benefits are also instant. The idea has to be slowly taken on, a process put in place to accommodate the new idea. Apparently NTs are the ones who can put themselves in other people's shoes and are adaptable to change! Go figure...
