INsight/ Self-Centered Perspective (2/5)

Ubud, 11 April 2026 — Are you the one not seeing it?

“By taking multiple perspectives, we begin to see that everyone is right—and holds a piece of the truth.”

Story

Some leaders don’t lack insight. They are trapped inside it.

They see clearly—from where they stand. But they don’t see beyond it. What feels obvious to them is only one angle on a wider reality.

You may recognize this in a meeting. You explain your view. It makes sense. Yet others hesitate, go quiet, or move in a different direction afterwards.

When everything is filtered through “I,” others fade—and the wider situation disappears.

Challenge

This is the self-centered bias: not seeing others, and not seeing the system you are part of.

It often comes from somewhere deeper. A fear of being wrong. A belief that you must have the answer. Or an attachment to your own idea.

You may believe you are leading. But you may simply be reinforcing your own view, again and again.

Meanwhile, others are already moving—together—without you. Conversations continue. Decisions take shape. Alignment forms elsewhere.

Question

Where might you be tightening into your own perspective right now?

What might be driving you beneath the surface—fear, belief, or attachment?

What are you not seeing—about others, and about the situation you are part of?
