In our workshops, we often use a beach ball to illustrate that what the audience sees from their side of the ball may be totally different than what the presenter sees on their side. As a leader, you have to be able to look at things from different angles, or perspectives. And to do this, you need to learn to interact with others in order to learn what they see. This allows you to make wise decisions and take well-considered actions.

But how can you practice continually gaining this full-focus perspective?

Take some time to listen to this podcast with John Maxwell on Ten Tools for Gaining a New Perspective. In this episode, he talks about how you serve and add value to others, how you grow yourself as a leader, and how you ask the questions that define your vision, mission, and values.

Like any tools, these work best, not in seeing and acquiring, but in application.

Listen and apply, and you’ll be amazed at how you see and do things differently as a result.
