Answer: Understanding the fundamental attribution error is important because research shows that everyday human behavior is heavily influenced by external factors, yet when evaluating others' behavior, you may wrongly perceive their actions as stemming from internal factors

Explanation: Fundamental attribution error breaks collaboration, renders communication ineffective and can even make people leave the organisation. It can cost someone their job.
