The ability to take a perspective on a problem is at the heart of all great business leadership, according to Christian Madsbjerg and Mikkel Rasmussen in their book The Moment of Clarity: Using the Human Sciences to Solve Your Toughest Business Problems. Leading by way of sensemaking requires that you, as a leader, know how to ask the right questions, how to see the patterns in the data, how to make the right interpretation, and how to shape those interpretations into actions.
