Meteorite: What Altitude Makes Obvious

26 Oct 2025

From ground to grand scale.

From the ground this ridge could pass for a curved hill—maybe even a dormant volcano. From altitude, the story sharpens: you’re looking at an impact feature, its scale only obvious when you change your vantage point.

Perspective reveals patterns.

One privilege of flying is that fresh angle on the world. It’s what new pilots their first timen in the flight deck: “I can’t believe the view.” Shift the viewpoint and hidden structure becomes visible—valleys align, rivers explain towns, and a crater announces itself.

Leadership works the same way.

In fast, complex environments, details can swamp judgment. Deliberately changing perspective—zooming out before you act—reveals what matters, reduces noise, and leads to calmer, better decisions. Leaders who practise this habit:
• understand issues with others eyes
• surface the real problem,
• see second-order effects, and
• communicate with clarity.

Create time and space to think.

Pilots are trained to pause, stabilise, and establish perspective before touching switches. Effective leaders do the same: slow the moment, test the assumptions, then act.
