Abstract
The article provides advice on how to deal with coworkers that do not follow the rules, and it mentions a coworker's ability to consider the fundamental attribution error form of cognitive bias. According to the article, it is best to have a conversation with the colleague in question, rather than a confrontation about their behavior. Explaining the purpose of employee rules is assessed, along with offering flexible solutions, setting timelines, and engaging employees with a combination of empathy, firmness, and finesse.
