Be open-minded and pretend you're someone else. Get inside of their thought process and see what they see. What the motives were, what they might have felt about it, how they reacted to it with what they've learned for themselves thusfar in life, etc. It's very possible to see different levels of cause and effect. The universe is full of all possibilities and their potentials. So technically, simply by the thought, all things are already, right now - at a metaphysical level. Thinking something and feeling something constitutes it's reality. Thus if you can remember something, or visualize something, than chances are you aren't too far off from what it'd be like to really live that. What's the difference between remembering something and feeling the emotion again like it's happening now which is why some people cry with sad memories, visualizing or imagining and feeling the incredible joy of that, or living something and feeling the effects of that. It's all thoughts and you'll react to them the same at any of these three levels. Knowing this, it won't be hard to step out of your own view for a while and to see the motives and thought processes of another.

Get to know the desires, expectations, priorities of the other person as best as possible. Also, the inclinations, aptitude, temptations to which the other person would succumb etc, if possible. Now look at things from that point of view, and it would be clear.
For example, two salesmen were asked to give opinion about trying to sell Refrigerators to Eskimos. One person said no chance, in such a cold place. The other said, scope for monopoly sales! So, also, about an island where people did not know about "shoes", one shoe salesman said no scope, the other one said: "We can teach them the use of shoes, the comfort , and have a monopoly of our brand!".
This is how perspective can change from person to person. One may be ambitious, the other may be a pessimist, passive, lethargic etc.

The ability to do this is called insight... it is developed by sensitive assimilation of inputs culled from experience with and exposure to other people, both strangers and related people. This ability needs to be developed early enough in life, or else one gets to become insensitive to the signals that keep coming from others. People insight is one of the most essential attributes for a successful leader.
