Often in business (and in life), what may seem to be a problem may only be a reflection
of your point of view.
By nature, human beings appear to be creatures of habit. Once established, mental patterns
guide our thoughts and actions. To realize how true this can be consider this: How often
have you found yourself driving down the road to some familiar place when suddenly you look
around and notice how far you’ve gone without being aware of it?
Habitual behaviors, whether they are deemed good or bad, reflect the mind’s filtering
process at work. Every day, we are surrounded with more and more information to take in.
With so much data being thrown at us, we adopt mental habits that allow us to choose what
information to pay attention to and what to ignore. It is simply a matter of self-preservation.
Recognizing that our mental habits exist allows us to become aware of them. With awareness
comes the opportunity to reframe our perspectives. The notion of “reframing” is
not new to readers of The Clarion Call. Rather, it is a recurring theme that plays a central
role in our philosophy and approach. It is woven into our application of the Operating
Model,
organicity, scenario
planning, organizational design, and more. The reason is that awareness
of one’s perspective and the ability to demonstrate adaptive thinking is so vitally
important to overall success for individuals and organizations.
