This document discusses the importance of cognitive diversity for effective decision making and problem solving. It notes that teams with greater diversity of training, experience, and perspectives tend to be more innovative. The document also discusses cognitive styles, heuristics, perspectives, and maintaining an openness to different ways of thinking through concepts like equifinality. Maintaining interaction and differences in a constructive manner can lead to learning while too much difference can cause stress.
