I was going over a conversation I had with a person I am good friends with and recently started working with (at a non-profit)… We’ve butted heads over several things and it has made our friendship tense for several days afterward. It happened again yesterday and last night I couldn’t sleep because I was thinking about it and realized we were each looking at the issue in different ways. I see the whole picture of how an event/project will effect things and she is focused on the event/project itself. I realized that because our perspectives were different it effected how we saw the event/project being accomplished. Now I have a better understanding of how to work with her and others around me that have a different “perspective”.
