Ep#211 Fix Your Leadership Blind Spots

Every leader has blind spots. Not because they’re careless or incompetent — but because they’re human. In this episode, Dex shares a formative leadership mistake from early in his career and uses it to unpack how beliefs, biases, and unexamined assumptions quietly shape leadership decisions. Often at a cost. You’ll explore why blind spots exist, how they show up under pressure, and the practical signals that tell you when one is running the show. Dex also explains why self-awareness alone isn’t enough — and how coaching (human and AI) can help you see what you literally cannot see on your own. This is about leadership maturity, not self-criticism. In this episode: A real leadership succession mistake — and the lesson it taught Why beliefs quietly limit leadership options How bias forms early and becomes invisible Common leadership blind spots (imposter syndrome, people problems, indecision, perfectionism) Why emotional reactivity is often the clue How coaching helps rewire outdated beliefs Where AI coaching helps — and where it doesn’t Practical AI prompts to surface blind spots fast Practical prompts mentioned: “What am I not seeing in this situation?” “How can I identify my leadership blind spots?” “What’s an effective next step with this team member?” “How can I resolve this conflict without sacrificing my deadlines?” Resources: Dex AI Coach: Leadership coaching with Dex: If leadership feels heavier than it should right now, this episode will help you loosen the grip — without losing authority. ----------------------------------- Resources: Leadership Performance without Burnout Dex AI Coach Confidential.
