A reputation for the big picture...and the small

Career Opportunities podcast logoFlexibility is the key to any career. Sometimes you will need to be thinking about the short term repercussions of your actions and sometimes the long term. Depending on the situation, you will need to clearly understand the "big picture" or the small. That said, many of us consistently focus on one over the other. These prejudices can limit our effectiveness by instantly branding us as a particular "type". Those around us begin to discount our opinion because they believe that they already know our response is biased in one direction. Don't fall victim to the big picture/small picture trap. Expand your thinking to allow for the best thoughts at the best time. Build a reputation for understanding both, so your co-workers and your managers will know you can see the whole picture and not just a fraction.
