The next exercise will take you only 30 seconds and doing it could help you for the rest of your life!! I’m not joking… Check this out:
STEP 1. Take a look at the next picture and try to figure out what is it. Take 5 seconds….

STEP 2. Now take a look at the next picture and try to figure out what is it. Take 5 seconds again.


What do you think? All the pictures are just different views (representations) of reality. This example can help us to understand the way we see our world, our reality.

What does it have to do with Leadership? A true leader knows this and is able to take two or three steps back and look at his world from the others’ point of view.
Next time you talk with a friend, colleague, spouse or anyone about a particular subject try not to judge his position but to understand his/her view of the subject. Remember you might be looking at a circle and they might be looking to the rectangle. Be Alert, Be A Leader.
