When creating any work from scratch, we can take the standard tried and tested approach. It is accepted, appears logical, and has a proven path. It anticipates what the outcomes may be.

In personal or professional environments, we default to the well-trodden path. This applies to challenging interactions and situations between people.

What if we change the view? Suppose we look at things from a different angle or sit in another seat and gain an alternate perspective.

Similar to being in a room with a 360° view. On one side, you may look at a smoky industrial stack that is gray and glum, and on the other side, you could be looking out onto paradise. Same room, different view.

Looking at something from many perspectives always increases the likelihood that we may find the best perspective for the situation, and possibly for us too. Those are worthy odds.
