A lot of my work as a Perspective Analyst involves mapping out my interpretation of the unique outlook of the people we work with.
This ensures that everyone is on the same page to prevent misunderstandings…before a project is underway.
That said, I’ve realized that simply noting my own interpretation is not enough. The next step is including, not just our interpretation of their outlook, but their interpretation of our outlook.
Sometimes this will be unexpected. This often will contradict our own ideas and ideals. This often will shoot down a deal before it transpires. And yes, we have to make a tough call. It ain’t easy…but that’s wisdom applied to business.
