Turning A Perceived Disability Into A Formidable Strength

Print Share

Goal

Improve employee equality and opportunity of a team

Problem

People with disabilities are often at a disadvantage compared to those without such disabilities

Sebir

Equality and opportunity among employees develops through capitalizing on a particular advantage that a disability naturally confers and leveraging that to express a strength that is exceptional. For instance, an American football team comprised completely of deaf players, achieved an undefeated record by using rapid hand signals for plays without the need for stoppages to talk and employed their heightened visual senses to their advantage, having a more acute sense of where they’re on the field compared to their opponents The performance of people with disabilities is greatly enhanced when they are able to turn what is conventionally perceived as a deficit into a significant strength

Breeding Hint 1

Think about how might view disabilities from the perspective of the inherent strengths they bestow rather than the obvious challenges they present. This could open up possibilities not previously thought viable

Breeding Hint 2

Think how you might even forget about the notion of ‘disabilities’ altogether and simply appreciate that people have diverse abilities, all of which are valuable in their way
