Enlarging Our Perspective
Leading with perspective is how we interpret or assign meaning to the events, stimulus, data and situations we encounter every day. Leading with perspective allows us to understand that context matters.
We know we need to adapt our leadership for any given situation and the way we assess and find patterns will help us understand what attributes of leading with the head and heart will be most beneficial.
Perspective is gained when we look at a situation with an open mind and a fresh set of eyes. We can learn from the environment we are leading in by paying attention to what is unique.
“Perspective swaps involve intentionally shifting your point of view to gain a new understanding of a situation.”
- Rebecca Hinds in her article in The Harvard Business Review,
