Blindspotting: How to See What’s Holding You Back as a Leader

 

By Martin Dubin

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. He has turned that experience into a deeply practical blueprint to help you identify your professional blindspots.

Blindspotting will help you overcome them—and you’ll unlock high performance and great leadership along the way.
