                                                     Selective   Perception

              People tend to only " see " information which agree with their beliefs and disregard information which they do not want see.   There is a study proves that selective perception really does happen: people from Princeton and Dartmouth were asked to watched a particularly violent Princetion-Dartmouth football game together.  Princeton people  reported seeing nearly twice as many rule infractions committed by the Dartmouth team than did Dartmouth people. One person from Dartmouth reported did not see any infractions committed by the Dartmouth team.
               We can see selective Perception misleading people and often results in poor judgement. To be a good manager should avoid it. Do not only listen to the employees who agree with you but also listen to opposite voices.
