Each of us experiences the world differently. It’s impossible to be aware of everything that is happening at any one time. Because of that, we practice "selective perception". Once we are in selective perception mode, we tend to assume that what we see is the whole picture. We think that what we see is the same as what others see (or should see) as well. The challenge is that once we see something in a certain way, it’s very difficult to see another point of view. We can develop blind spots: an inability to see an issue from any perspective but our own.

Understanding this also helps us recognize our personal strengths and challenges, helps us better communicate with others in different styles, and increases respect for the variety of ways in which all styles contribute to organizational effectiveness.

It’s also easier to collaborate, to see the good in others, strengthen relationships, and build innovative solutions.
