What you don't see about yourself can hold you back as a leader. Learn the blindspots that prevent you from achieving your greatest success.
As leaders, we all hit a point when things stop going well. A problem emerges that we think we can handle, but we actually can't. The tools that got us this far somehow stop working. We don't understand; what are we missing?
What we don't see is what we can't see: we have blindspots.
It turns out that we're often not great judges of ourselves, even when we think we are. Sometimes we're simply unaware of a behavior or trait that's causing problems. Other times, where we see normal, even effective behavior, others see tremendous deficits. Bottom line: until we uncover these blindspots, we can't move forward.
The good news is that you can learn to do your own blindspotting. Clinical-psychologist-turned-entrepreneur-turned-business-coach Martin Dubin has spent years learning when and how executives get in their own way, and he has turned that experience into a deeply practical blueprint for you to identify your professional blindspots and work to overcome them.
Blindspotting provides a framework for understanding six types of blindspots, then takes you inside coaching sessions with profoundly relatable leaders who are learning to recognize their own blindspots. Along the way, you get the practical guidance you need to identify and manage those same blindspots in yourself to unlock high performance and great leadership.
