Out of the development of 180-degree vision comes the ability to ask important “what-if” questions, especially as they relate to what if something happens over time — such as what if you have a perfect wind storm in Southern California that only happens every 20 or 30 years. What-if as it relates to the fire and damage it can do to houses and lives. Which is one of the reasons why objectivity and 180-degree vision is so critical to develop in leadership. In this case, it’s the public sector that probably should have looked a little bit closer at the what-if, and to respond accordingly with the long-term policies and procedures as they relate to the practical and not-so practical activities.
