What you don’t see about yourself can hold you back as a leader.
As leaders, we all hit a point when things stop going well. A problem emerges that we think we can handle but discover we 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’s a known fact 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, effective behavior, others see tremendous deficits. Bottom line: until we uncover these blindspots, we can’t move forward or deliver on our goals as leaders.
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 leaders get in their own way, and he has turned that experience into a deeply practical blueprint to help you 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 going through the process of 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, unlocking high performance and great leadership.
