Eye for Detail: what is it? and how important in your life?

Image

"If you have an eye for detail or a fine/good/keen eye for detail, you are good at noticing small but important things that other people might not notice."

some illustrative Examples

  • Preparation : preparation such a mechanic who carefully lays out their tools before beginning a repair
  • Planning : planning a task before you begin such as creating a checklist for maintenance procedure
  • Design : designing things before you create them such as a software developer who develops a software design before they write any code.
  • Practice : practicing a task before you begin. for example, rehearsing a speech as opposed to winging it
  • Communication : paying careful attention to what you say or write to convey your ideas with color and conviction and minimize the chance of being misunderstood.
  • Listening : listening with intent to understand, including reading the emotion and body language of the speaker.
  • Diligence : the level of care that you apply to a task. for example, a pilot who intensely concentrates when they land an aircraft such that they are immune to distraction
  • Accuracy : the degree of accuracy that you include in your work such as a news article that states that Antarctic ice sheets lost "2,720 ± 1,390 billion tonnes of ice between 1992 and 2017" as opposed to "Antartica is quickly melting"
  • Risk : identifying, analyzing and quantifying risk as opposed to making broad and general statements such as "this is rizky" or "this is a bad idea that will fail."
  • Refinement : working to improve something towards a state of perfection. for example, a designer who views a mobile device as a work of art that should instantly spark passion in the customer.


Another Examples of crisis due to lack of “eye for detail”:

  1. Sapporo Breweries Ltd, Japan’s largest breweries, has apologized after it was forced to cancel the launch on 12 Jan 2021 of a limited-edition beer Kaitakushi Beer Tailored due to a spelling mistake. It was discovered that the word “lager” incorporated into a scroll on the front of the can had been misspelled “lagar”.
  2. Australia printed 46 million new A$50 banknotes in 2018. They all contain an embarrassing typographical error that was overlooked by the country’s central bank before they were printed and circulated: the word “responsibility” was misspelt as “responsibilty” three times.
  3. In 2015, Swedish clothing retailer H&M pulled a range of T-shirts that bore the quote: “‘Genious is one percent inspiration & ninety nine percent perspiration.”
  4. In 2018, British online fashion retailer ASOS acknowledged it had printed some 17,000 bags with a phrase that read, “discover fashion onilne”.


Why is Eye for Detail important?

  • Professionalism.
  • Sloppiness is an unjust indicator of quality of work.
  • Errors raise question about the integrity of the entire document.
  • If I can’t trust you with the small things, how do I trust you with bigger roles?
  • Productivity: do it right the first time.

During World War I, Lanchester took an interest in the air war that raged over Europe. His curi

Dimulai dari PIXEL 3 yg biasa sehari2 sy pakai.. Kondisi normal, pemakaian normal dari awal selalu pakai tempered glass Nillkin dan Case Ringke fusion X.
