Circular
The "circular" aspect of organizational leadership is built on the principle that effective leadership requires 360 degree feedback. According to the authors of Funky Business, this form of democratic leadership allows the individual leader to better self-organize with constant and circular feedback from all parties. A Chinese proverb says that {every point on a circle has a different view of the middle}, and, as a result, no view is right unless each view is taken into consideration.

: 有点像孔夫子在外国说的话比在中国说得多;看来这是一个外国人编造出来的中国谚语,但一点也不合逻辑:“圆周”上的各“点”所“见”的“圆心”必定相同,否则就不会是“圆”了!所以怎么翻译都对。

横看成岭侧成峰
想不出与“圆”有关,又是这个意思的成语
“横看成岭侧成峰”可能比较相近吧
“横看成岭侧成峰”可能比较相近吧

【解释】仁者见它说是仁,智者见它说是智。比喻对同一个问题,不同的人从不同的立场或角度有不同的看法。
【出处】《周易·系辞上》:“仁者见之谓之仁,智者见之谓之智。”
