April 14: Close Your Leadership Blind Spots

What others see in you is what actually drives your success or failure.

Most leaders believe they understand their impact, but research reveals a striking gap: while 95% of people consider themselves self-aware, only 10-15% truly are. This disconnect creates blind spots that limit your leadership effectiveness, especially in operational environments where clarity and trust are essential.

Take Action: Schedule two 10-minute conversations this week with trusted team members. Ask specifically: "What's one leadership behavior of mine that works well, and one that could be more effective?" Record responses without defending or explaining.
