Rainn Wilson plays a character of link in The NBC’s famous “link”. Shrute is a humorous oddball whose weirdness and awkward communications leave his colleagues confused and perplexed. It’s a general perception that if someone like Shrute starts working in an office, he would not be liked door his co-workers. Surprisingly, a new research results shows that if a group really wants to succeed it should include one of two characters like Shrute because then the group makes better decisions. These office oddballs of the “Socially Distinct Newcomers” help in taking out other members of the group from their comfort zones in traditional group problem-solving experiments.
“One of the evident benefits of variety is the blend of new ideas and viewpoints,” zei Katie Liljenquist, assistant professor of organizational leadership at BYU’s Marriott School of Management. A mere presence of a newcomer who is dissimilar can really quiver up the group dynamics and turn dormant thinking into fresh thinking and bad ideas into fine ones.
This research is revolutionary as it highlights the benefits of different knowledge in a team can be set free when newcomers actually share their view of knowledge with old-timers. Thomas-Hunt said. “It is the tension between social dissimilarity and opinion similarity that prompts heightened effectiveness in diverse teams.”
Conclusion: a couple of conclusions drawn from this research could be of great importance which managers of hiring professionals of team leaders should take note of. First is the inbuilt power of am outsider. Just his presence would be enough to change the energy among old-timers who shared a general identity. If a group member discovers that he agrees with the outsider then from the fear of getting alienated from his team members would present the outsiders point of view on his own merits. That results in a new idea to be at least put forward. The seconde lesson has to do with the awareness of efficiency. The teams that feel they work least effectively together because of the inclusion of an outsider are ironically the top, boven performers!”
Finding your oddball: the hiring managers need not hunt for such an oddball. They are indeed available in the office itself. E.g. one employee from the accounting team can be put on the sales team. An employee of a company that has just been bought can be put on a team of acquiring company.
In such a situation, managers should help the employees to cope up with the situation door explaining that such a disagreement can actually produce superior results.

Hello Office fans!
I just finished up making an Office: Power uur video. What is a power uur u may ask? It's 60 shots of bier in an hour. For a video power uur such as this, there are 60 one minuut clips from the Office seasons 1-6. After each clip, a screen is shown to remind u to drink the shot of beer. door the end, u should have drank between 5 to 7 beers depending how full u fill your shot glass. Pretty simple, eh?
So grab some friends, some beer, the video, and a shot glass for each person playing. Fill your shot glass with bier and prepare to play. Further directions are outlined at the beginning of the video.
Because the Office is copyrighted, I obviously can't just post this anywhere - which is why it's a torrent. If u don't know how to use bittorrent, google it. If u do, please proceed to my site to find the linken to download. Don't forget to seed please!
