Play: Perspective Reversal

Every position has a blind spot — things that are invisible precisely because of where you're standing. The opposing perspective sees those things clearly. This skill requires fully setting aside your own position and genuinely inhabiting the other one — without qualification, defence, or commentary — then returning to extract what was revealed. Half-hearted perspective-taking (staying in your own frame while gesturing at theirs) produces nothing. Full inhabitation produces findings.

Your Process

Step 1: Name the Opposing Perspective Who is the other position? Be specific — not "the market" but "a direct competitor who has observed our strategy for two years and is now choosing where to attack." Not "critics" but "the engineering team who built the previous system and believe this replacement is solving the wrong problem." Specificity determines how much you can genuinely inhabit.
