Authors:-Arjita Jaiswal, Manish Chaudhary
Abstract-The concept of Shoe Theory emphasizes that everyone is comfortable in their own shoes and should not be forced to wear someone else’s shoes. This theory posits that individual differences, including the effects of various elements such as time and generational perspectives, significantly impact workplace dynamics and organizational effectiveness. The theory highlights the importance of recognizing the unique experiences and backgrounds of team members to foster an inclusive and productive environment. Keeping creative destruction in mind, everything has its loophole to be breached. Although the answer may be yes or no, there always exists a condition of if/situation and but/exception.
