step in the ladder of inference is to observe that information.

stops by to thank the receptionist for taking his call.
2. Selected reality: Here's the thing though it's not often that we use all
available, selected reality to make decisions.
Example:
Employee shows up 20 minutes late.
Personality Development – Written Assignment
3. Interpreted reality: Next up, we assign meaning to that information based
on our own past experiences, biases and beliefs.
Example:
Struggled with a previous employee who had no respect for schedules or
timelines and was really difficult to
work with.
4. Assumptions: When we assign meaning to that data that equips us to
make assumptions-to Ignore all of the other realities and facts and jump to
conclusions about what's happening.
Example:
Current employee was late because he also doesn't take schedules seriously.
5. Conclusions: From there, we transform our own assumptions into firm
conclusions - again, without considering all of the facts and realities we
could've been presented with at the very beginning. Example:
Currents employee needs to be reprimanded and reminded that they must
show up to work on time. Otherwise, this will snowball into an even larger
problem.
6. Beliefs: Here's where things can really become problematic, based on
those conclusions we drew, we adopt beliefs about the situations. We then
use those beliefs and experiences to shape future judgments about similar
scenarios.
Example:
Any employee who shows up late has no regard for schedules and authorities
and needs to be dealt with accordingly.
7. Actions: With all of that in mind, we take action. But again, we are
operation based on our own assumption rather than fact.
Example:
Issues a strong warning about the importance of timelines.
