Leadership blind spots
Dr. Loretta Malandro specializes in executive communication. She is an expert on the blind spots – those automatic behaviors that can trap many leaders.
Malandro points out that these behaviors are not flaws, but they can influence decision-making, sabotage results, and have other unintended consequences.
Every executive is susceptible to blind spots. The following are the most common blind spots Malandro find in executives:
- Trying to do too much, a.k.a going it alone.
- Insensitivity to their impact on others.
- Avoiding difficult conversations.
