These are just some of the reasons why opposites attract in a work space to get the job done, and some examples of how this works in practice. Of course, this does not mean that opposites always get along or that they do not need to communicate and compromise. But it does mean that opposites can offer a lot of value and potential to each other and to the work they do. So next time you encounter someone who is very different from you in the work space, don’t be afraid to embrace the difference and see what you can achieve together!
