Metis, the wise revered Titan Goddess of counsel and planning was said to derive her wisdom from her ability to see things from many perspectives. Our ability to see things from multiple points of view is often hampered by the prevailing conventional accepted wisdoms and norms of the teams and organisations we work within. We often fail to see, understand and interpret events as others experience them, not because we lack compassion or don't care, but because we have become unconsciously conditioned to applying a chosen paradigm through which to view and interpret situations and shape our responses.
