Sea of Change Management

I spent a lot of my time as a youngster at Whitby a seaside town in the UK. I remember standing on the cliff one day with Dad who said "What do you see?"

I answered "The sea.

He said "And to you what does it represent?"

"The sea!" I said puzzled. He looked at it and said "It is important when you are looking at things to see if from all perspectives. To you it is the sea and only the sea but to

• The captain of the ship it is a transport system
• To a seagull it is their pantry for food
• To a child it is their playground
• To an angler it is their relaxation

To be a better person don't just see your angle, see all angles and learn to respect the needs and desires of others"

I have always tried to remember that...too many meetings happen when people don't listen, don't want to see the other perspective.

Now I try and see the sea!

To see things from all or different perspectives is always the method that I try and use when considering important things. In the past I sometimes only use my thoughts and guess what happened, so the way forward for me is to network.
