[ Zoom ]

No, this isn’t about the influx of screen-based meetings that have infiltrated our lives now. 

The zoom I’m thinking of is the field of vision on a topic: zoomed in or zoomed out.

Having a constantly zoomed-in view leaves you unaware of what’s happening in the zoomed out bigger picture.  Conversely, always adopting a helicopter view means a lack of appreciation for the details.

Both views are needed, and maybe not even by the same person.  But at least be aware of your zoom level, and what that means for the depth and position of your knowledge of a topic.
