EP-09 Opening the Blinds on Your Blind Spots
Description
Problem-solving is one of the keys to great leadership. But how can you solve a problem you don’t even know you have? We all have blind spots, areas where we make assumptions or hold beliefs without pausing to question their rational basis and the ways in which they influence our behaviour.
The tricky thing about our blind spots is that because we aren’t aware of them, we usually don’t notice the impact they are having on those around us. All the while, these blind spots are disrupting our conversations, weakening our relationships and diminishing our influence.
In the latest episode of Conversations for FearLESS Leaders, we explore the techniques you can use to uncover your blind spots and strategies for addressing them. (If you need an introduction to blind spots and how they can impede your development as a leader, check out the previous episode first!)
‘Opening the blinds’ takes both humility and courage as you commit to seeking honest feedback and taking action to amend limiting behaviors. Ultimately this creates an environment of safety and trust in which you and your people can have healthy conversations that catalyze growth and transformation – even in the most difficult situations.
