People and Perspectives

Overview

Developing an ability to acknowledge, appreciate and understand different points of view to our own adds dimension to our own version of reality.

As a manager, your ability to acknowledge different perspectives either within your team, in client conversations or with colleagues across business functions will provide you with a more well-rounded understanding of the subject and motivations of the respective stakeholders.
