Trees
You have leveraged the phrase “see the forest through the trees.”
It is a useful reminder to see the bigger picture.
It represents the brain’s ability to reappraise your immediate context and pivot your perspective.
The real value of the metaphor lies in its scalability in challenging your perspective.
Sometimes you need to see the trees within the forest.
Your team might need you to come closer to better understand their context and the impacts of broader decisions.
You can also scale out.
Some days you might need to see the earth beyond the forests.
How does the work you are doing make the planet better?
