Thought of the Day - Forest for the Trees or Trees for the forest
We've heard it said that someone who is up close and personal with a situation isn't able to "see the forest for the trees." But with a certain issue we can't see the trees for the forest. We are concentrating on the big picture, and we are perhaps overlooking individual people or elements that are instrumental to solving a problem. Don't step back - move in closer instead. This is a situation where we need to be less objective and more involved. Once we get a sense of what others are feeling, we will know how to proceed.
