BIG PICTURE
Hello!
Can someone explain, please the meaning of this expression: The big picture.
I've found this sentences:
Let me explain the bigger picture ( during negotiations ).
In baseball there are generalists, who keep their eye on the ball and see the big picture.
In my political work I try to concentrate on the big picture and not be distracted by details.
*a broad, overall view or perspective of an issue or problem.
Could you give other example, please?
Thank you in advance!

To me, the big picture means the overall plan - the end result. One example: Some people get so caught up in the details and tasks of getting a project finished, that they lose sight of the "big picture" - the reason why they are doing the details and mundane tasks in the first place. Say someone is building a house and gets caught up in the details and chores of planning its construction.

- The original purpose of the project, building a home, gets delayed in the planning.
