Bring your blindspots into focus

Even the most capable leaders have blindspots: patterns they can’t see in themselves but others experience every day. These hidden behaviors can stall progress, strain relationships, and erode influence. The hard part is spotting them early enough to change course.

 

Blindspotting lays out a practical method for surfacing these patterns and addressing them with discipline. Drawing on work with senior executives, psychologist and coach Martin Dubin maps six common blindspots and examines real cases of leaders confronting them. The result is clearer communication, stronger alignment, and fewer missteps over time.
