Steve, I have post-it notes with quotes from your speeches and Perspective Power messages firmly affixed to my desk. Frankly a day doesn’t go by now where I don’t find myself asking 'What am I missing,' and 'How can I view the issue differently to seek a better solution?' You are certainly inspiring and motivational.

Perspective PowerTM: Turbocharge Your Leadership
Leaders manage a paradox: The value of a team lies in its diverse points of view; with every member bringing different insights and solutions to the table. Conversely, the effectiveness of a team lies in its shared vision. In other words, both the value and effectiveness of a team are actually driven by its perspective.
Leaders walk a fine line, embracing diversity while maintaining direction. At its core, leadership is an exercise in perspective management. Unfortunately, most leaders overlook the central role of perspective in driving every aspect of an organization’s performance.
During Steve’s breakout session your leaders will learn how to flex their Perspective PowerTM so they can:
- Avoid Overconfidence Spirals, solve crucial problems and achieve key organizational objectives.
- Dilute toxic emotions, avoid conflict and focus their teams towards high priority goals.
- Leverage the power of Bounce-Questions to change points of view and drive effective action.

Steve, we have utilized the “What am I missing?” and “What am I making up?” questions on an (almost) daily basis. Sometimes those questions are the answer to an employee who comes to me with a concern or an issue. Many of them are now to the point of saying “I know, what am I missing and what am I making up?”, before I can even get the first words out.

Perspective PowerTM: Turbocharge Your Team
Research has shown that—in most circumstances—the analytic power of a team is greater than that of any individual member. However, when a group of people face a challenge, it’s rare for an individual to truly believe that the collective view is superior to his or her own.
Fact is, we’re all victimized by unconscious mental quirks that narrow our outlook to the size of a shirt button. Unfortunately, while we remain unaware of our own blind spots—and especially when our emotions are engaged—team interactions become a clash of personalities, rather than a unified effort towards highest priority goals.
The key to becoming an effective team player is to learn how to see beyond your own limited perspective, manage your negative emotions and expand your outlook to encompass the points of view of your colleagues.
During this program, Dr. Steve Bedwell will teach you and your colleagues how to flex your Perspective PowerTM. Implementing his strategies will enable your team to embrace its diversity, manage conflict and define a shared vision that drives its collective talent and experience towards extraordinary results.
