Leadership Blindspots: 11 Questions to Free Yourself
When top-tier executives come to me for coaching, their #1 request is always the same: "I want to know where my blind spots are." They know that the things holding them back aren't their obvious weaknesses—they are the invisible patterns they have accepted as "normal."
Finding those blind spots requires you to challenge your current thinking.
In this short, experimental episode, I am not giving you a framework or a 5-step process. Instead, I am going to ask you 11 "What If" questions.
These questions are designed to bypass your ego and force you to look at how you handle conflict, intuition, power, and ownership.
In this episode, we explore:
-The Intuition Gap: Why you are ignoring that gut feeling about the person in the wrong role—and what it is costing you .
-The Power of Apology: What if you apologized to fix a broken relationship, even if you aren't sure it was your fault?
-The "Nice Leader" Syndrome: Why holding back your passion and frustration is actually a disservice to a team that needs to be woken up .
-The Ownership Reality: What happens when you stop blaming your industry, your boss, or your team, and take 100% ownership of exactly where you are today?
💪 The Challenge for This Week: Don't just listen to this on 1.5x speed.
Listen to the 11 questions.
When one hits you in the gut, hit pause.
Take one immediate action—send a text, schedule a meeting, or put a task on your calendar to address it.
