How Are You Reducing Your Leadership Blindspots?
According to the Na
tional Highway Traffic Safe
ty Administration (NHTSA)
more than 800,000 blind spot
accidents happen each year re
sulting in devastation and loss
of life. A blind spot is a place
where your line of sight is im
paired. If you’re a seasoned
driver you’re constantly aware
of this risk and work to reduce
your blind spots. New cars have
special side mirror sensors to
help and looking over your
shoulder still works. But just
like on the roadway, the work
place is a space where there can
often be potential for serious
“collisions’’ as well. Anytime
people are present there is po
tential for challenges. Not all
conversations are successful,
conflict arises, people interpret
situations negatively, hurt feel
ings happen, etc, This begs me
to ask you the question-’’As
a leader how do you identify
and reduce your blind spots?’’
Take a moment to ponder that
and write down your answers.
One of the biggest blind spots
is a lack of self-awareness. A
study by famed IO psycholo
gist Tasha Eurich showed that
95% of people think they are
but only 10% of people are re
ally self-aware. Here are some
helpful suggestions to increase
your self-awareness and reduce
your blindspots: 1. Always ask
for feedback from a trusted
colleague 2. Watch out for your
triggers (the things that set you
off) 3. Pay attention to your
negative patterns of behavior
(when and why they occur) 4.
Work on fixing challenging ar
eas with a coach (I’m available
if you need one) 5. Make learn
ing and growing a regular ac
tivity to help replace negative
behaviors and habits.
