Your Second Decision – How Grand Is My Plan?

Chapter 3 in Custom-Built Leadership, 2008, pp 90-123 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract If you’ve ever watched science programs on television or movies about space travel you may have seen a familiar cinematic device where the camera will be trained on a small object on earth, perhaps a man walking a dog or a couple arguing about something that seems terribly important, and then it will move further and further away so that people look like ants, then cities look like dots on the landscape, countries become engulfed in deep blue sea and when the image comes to rest, the earth hangs in black space like a small blue ball. Somehow, what appeared to be matters of great concern such as the argument between the couple are seen from a different perspective, often rendering them rather inconsequential. As a result of this technique we quite literally see the world and all that is in it differently.
