Second thoughts

A lot of the best leaders have the ability to work out a decision based upon three different perspectives. The first includes the application of logic, rationale and analysis, which is then contrasted by consideration of feelings, beliefs and values.

Second position is to look at the decision from someone else’s point of view, to try to see the decision in the context of their world, their reality and through their eyes.

Finally, some leaders go a step further and ask “What is a totally objective view on this decision?” This is the ‘fly on the wall’ position.

This ability to move through three different thought perspectives marks out top leaders and people of real influence.

The better they do this the better decisions they make and the better they become.
