Ground-Breaking New Book by Behavioral Experts at DIMA Innnovations Shed the Light on Perception in the Business World
PHOENIX, Dec. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As organizations become more diverse and expand into multi-cultural areas, it has never been more critical to recognize the power of perception. Dr. Diane Hamilton, Thinkers50 Radar inductee and author of Cracking the Curiosity Code, and Dr. Maja Zelihic, Fulbright Specialist, have come together to create a book that business experts have lauded as a critical success. In The Power of Perception: Eliminating Boundaries to Create Successful Global Leaders, the authors address how perceptions are formed and their impact on critical business issues including innovation, creativity, decision making, engagement, and effective leadership.
In addition to the book, the authors have co-founded DIMA Innovations and created the Perception Power Index (PPI), which determines the factors that impact perception. After years of research to validate this 32-question assessment, they determined that perception is an EPIC process, which requires evaluation, prediction, interpretation, and correlation to come to conclusions. The book and assessment are available at DimaInnovations.com and can be part of a critical means of helping employees and leaders master their power of perception.
In today's diverse business world, employees and leaders must know when perceptions work for them and when they work against them. How people perceive, not what they perceive, is what influences how and what they think and believe, which, in turn, affects behaviors. If individuals are to engage others, both of their own and other cultures, they must become more self-aware of their perceptions and those of others. Individuals can shape and alter thinking to allow perceptions to become more effective employees, decision-makers, and leaders.
