Strategy and Perspective

Once one accepts that strategy always takes place in the context of relative interactions between two or more thinking entities, it is potentially disastrous to ignore the possibility that truth or reality is equally valid from the other’s point of view. This does not mean that all points of view are equally valid, it is the recognition that some points of view may add to the validity and power of your own. The more perspectives that can be gleaned, the more likely the view of reality is shared, and the more likely it is to be useful.
