From the Paper:

"Each of us has assumptions we make about the world, different cultures, societies, and our workplace, to name a few. There are certain things we are aware of that we have a personal or stake in, however, we may miss other important opportunities by being overly self-reflective. "Reframing, then, is a process of thorough, active, practical analysis and implementation of leadership theory" (Telford 15). It is the process of taking those assumptions and finding differences and opportunities that will actually make a significant difference. Taking those assumptions and reframing them is reflective, however, it is aimed outward and not solely toward the self. The 15% principle is part of this reframing method and represents the goal of making a major difference by at least 15%. It is a source of incremental, yet transformational change that can lead to new and exciting action opportunities."
