February 25: Identifying Your Leadership Blind Spots

A lack of self-awareness is like driving with a fogged-up windshield.

Assuming you have the full picture can lead to poor decisions. Recognizing blind spots helps you avoid biases and misinterpretations. These blind spots often arise from ingrained habits, unexamined assumptions, or overconfidence in personal judgment. By proactively identifying them, you open yourself to growth opportunities and become a more adaptable, responsive leader.

Take Action: Ask a trusted colleague, "What’s one thing I do as a leader that I may not realize?" Listen openly and reflect on their insight.
