Shoes
You know the age-old saying about putting yourself in another’s shoes? Walking two moons in another’s mocassins?
We all thought that would let us be better people and make better decisions.
But aha. There is another level to this shoes thing. You have to walk in their shoes, yes. But you also have to walk in their feet, which would be in your shoes. That sounds crazy, but really we do it all the time.
Walking in your boss’s shoes=Thinking what the boss must be thinking.
Walking in your boss’s feet in your shoes=Thinking what the boss must be thinking you are thinking.
It comes in useful when you start feeling like you are getting too self centered and the first level shoes thing is not working so well for you.
