a la vuelta de la esquina


Explanation:
si sus empleados no pueden ver lo que hay a la vuelta de la esquina, ¿cómo se puede pretender que piensen en eso?

no es exactamente lo que significa "to think aroun corners" pero hay que adaptarlo

\"To think around corners\" is the opposit of thinking \"in straight lines\". It is questioning assuptions, seeing problems from different angles.

ven/van más allá


Explanation:
quizás se podría traducir como "si los empleados no ven más allá" o "si los empleados no van más allá" en el sentido de quedarse unicamente con la información que ven y no entender el contexto que rodea a lo que ven. Yo lo entiendo así:
