Let's talk about Transformation!
For context:
This article explores all 16 Hardwires from A2B Transformation – helping you move from dependency (A-levels) to independence and self-direction (B-levels).
What are Hardwires? Neurological patterns formed throughout your life – from birth to now. Shaped by your DNA, environment, parenting, choices, and experiences.
Exploring the first one on our list: 1/16
ZIZO - Zoom-In Zoom-Out
ZIZO describes the way you think, reason, and process information and experiences — whether you focus more on the finer details or the big picture.
Zoom-In:
At their worst: A Zoom-In person resembles a chicken trapped in an unlocked cage. Day after day, they circle the same worn paths, pecking at scraps scattered on familiar ground. They fight over crumbs while fresh food lies just beyond the open gate. The cage feels safe. The other chickens feel like company. The known territory feels comfortable. But they never venture into the distance, never explore, never discover what lies beyond their self-imposed boundaries.
At their best: A Zoom-In person becomes a search-and-rescue dog on a critical mission. Every sound registers. Every movement catches their attention. Every scent tells a story. They move with purpose and precision, investigating each clue with intensity and focus. While they need guidance and encouragement, they rely on their own highly-tuned skills and instincts. In a team, people like this catch the details others miss. They prevent disasters before they happen, save lives that would otherwise be lost, and solve problems that have plagued organizations for years.
Zoom-Out:
At their worst: A Zoom-Out person resembles someone lost in a drug-induced haze – always dreaming, never doing. They defend their endless theorizing as "thinking differently," being "original and creative." They speak passionately about revolutionary visions and transformative ideas. Their plans are always grand, always "game-changing." But without the discipline to execute step by step, they remain perpetually intoxicated by possibility while producing nothing concrete. They are master procrastinators with loud voices – always talking about what the future could be, what should be done, but never actually doing anything about it.
At their best: A Zoom-Out person soars like an eagle – the apex predator of the sky. They see what others cannot, scanning vast territories while others remain grounded. Every flight has purpose. Every action serves their mission. They choose their partner carefully and commit completely, knowing their legacy depends on raising other eagles. They build their nests far from danger – high above snakes, predators, and human interference. They never settle for scraps or fight over leftovers like scavengers. They hunt fresh prey with precision and patience. Yet despite their intensity, they find moments to pause mid-flight, wings spread wide, gliding effortlessly on thermal currents like a surfer riding the perfect wave. Eagles possess both Zoom-In focus and Zoom-Out vision – the optimal combination for whole-brain thinking and transformational leadership.
