Part of a leader's job is to get into people's glasses to see how they view things, because no one else sees the world the same way you do. No, nor should you want to. You simply can't make people buy or diversify or adapt. But the one thing you can do is help people reflect. Reflective Decision-Making Quite simply, the better someone reflects on a situation, the better his or her decision will be.
True leaders leave the experience and the decision itself to the individual.
The leader's job is to help the individual reflect, because being able to reflect adequately comes through experience, guidance, and a measure of self-discipline. Think of it somewhat like Freud's classic psychological theory of the Id, the Ego, and the Super Ego. In this case we'll call them the child, the parent, and the adult. They are three forces or personalities fighting within each one of us for dominance. The child personality is at our core.
