Some people just see more.
They spot the disconnect in a conversation before it turns into a problem. They notice when a process isn’t just slow—it’s broken. They sense the shift in a customer’s tone before the account is lost.
Noticers aren’t always in leadership roles, but they lead. They don’t always have authority, but they have impact. They pick up on the small, seemingly invisible things that—when addressed—change everything.
And yet, most organizations don’t train for this. They reward the doers, the fixers, the deliverers. Noticers? They’re often dismissed as overthinkers or worriers… until their insights prove invaluable.
The best teams make space for noticers. They ask for their input, act on their instincts, and build cultures where paying attention is an asset, not a distraction.
Because the difference between an organization that thrives and one that stumbles isn’t just what they do—it’s what they see.
