People need perspective!

What strikes me most about companies is the lack of a true perspective. When I ask my typical question "what would you change immediately if you had all the power to do it?" most people have no or only a very tactical answer.

Almost nobody comes up with a really great idea. Most people work in the same company for many years and also have various ideas for improvement (mostly for the others). What's missing is a real perspective that's worth fighting for.

The good news is that we all have the ability to develop great perspectives. For most, it's just been withdrawn over many years. "Stay with what you know" is the motto.

However, what you unlearn, you can learn again. This is one of your core tasks if you want to achieve something outstanding together with others, especially as a leader.

How do you do it? Here are three tips:

1. Life perspective. Do you have a vision for your life? Who do you want to be? What do you want to change in the world? With whom? Why? And so on. Such a vision is your North Star, your direction. It guides your decisions. The less-developed your own perspective is, the more you will stick to what already exists, even if it is not a good choice.
2. Consciousness. Most people today are so strongly externally controlled that they no longer have an anchor point for developing a genuine perspective that stands on solid ground. We are so busy and exhausted from all the tasks that we often simply lack the energy to develop a perspective.
3. Exercise. What you have unlearned, you must practice to regain it. You can do that every day. And especially with your team. Practice answers to questions like: "If we started again from scratch, what would we do differently? And why?"
