Fearless Leadership
Fearless Leadership by Dr. Loretta Malandro
In October, we wrote about leadership expert Dr. Loretta Malandro and her belief every business leader has blindspots. We decided to delve further with Malandro’s book Fearless Leadership.
Malandro defines a blindspot as an unproductive behavior that undermines success and business relationships.
Fearless Leadership explores the top 10 blindspots that Malandro and her team have identified through extensive research. They are:
- Going it alone
- Being insensitive to your impact on others
- Having an “I know” attitude
- Avoiding difficult conversations
- Blaming others or circumstances
- Treating commitments casually
- Conspiring against others
- Withholding emotional commitment
- Not taking a stand
- Tolerating “good enough”
Malandro believes that solving blindspots are critical to organizational success. She provides convincing evidence from her work with professionals around the world that organization change does not happen until leadership changes. The book provides detail on each blindspot, excellent examples from Malandro’s practice, and strategies that leaders can use to diagnose and overcome their own blindspots.
