S4e03 Decoding Your Blindspots with Martin Dubin

Episode notes

Have you been super successful … and yet felt stuck? When I ask leaders, ‘What is REALLY getting in your way?’, there is usually a long pause before they say … ‘MYSELF’. The reason? The very same things that enabled our success… stop working as effectively as they used to. I’ve seen leaders go from ‘HERO’ to ‘ZERO’ way too often in organizations. There are some consistent underlying themes I see. The leader has blind spots but is clueless about it. The more senior you get, no one wants to tell you about it either. These blindspots cascade into behaviors, often resulting in poorer choices, actions and decisions Blindspots blur the lines between assumptions, prejudices, biases and facts, resulting in non evidence-based decisions or actions Under pressure, especially in crises, their blindspots often take the wheel …and they have no idea that it is happening Others often see their blindspots way before the leaders themselves do. Best case - it affects your career and future. Worst case - it has a corrosive effect on your team and organization. Either way, addressing it is pivotal to your future success.
