Myopic

Myopic

nearsighted; foolish; unthinking

Lacking the ability to see what results will come from your actions.

The myopic boy kept pulling the tail and he was surprised when the dog barked.

Memory trick: opic reminds us of optics or to see.
My reminds us of ours.
We only see ours and not ahead in the future.

You only see your own issues when you are myopic.

Used at work:
He is a myopic team member and only appreciates his own work.
