my·o·pi·a :  lack of discernment of long-range perspective in thinking or planning

“Strategic Myopia: where administrators . . .  managers . . . governing boards . . . . anyone who guides and is responsible for the direction of the organization   . . . . . . fail to recognize the significance of  changing external conditions because they are blinded by strong commonly held beliefs or perception.”
