Leadership blind spots quietly undermine growth in many successful companies. Tom Wheelwright sits down with clinical psychologist, entrepreneur, and executive adviser Martin Dubin—author of Blindspotting—to explain why capable leaders often become the biggest constraint on their own businesses.
As companies grow, the strengths that once built success can begin creating problems. Leaders repeat familiar behaviors, hold onto outdated identities, and unintentionally discourage honest feedback. Martin shows how executives and entrepreneurs can recognize these patterns before they damage culture, performance, and strategy.
You’ll learn:
- How hidden behaviors affect leadership decisions
- Why fast-growing businesses often outgrow their founders’ habits
- How to create a culture where teams safely give honest feedback
- Why personality strengths can become liabilities over time
- How leaders can evolve as their business scales
This topic matters now because business complexity increases faster than personal development. Entrepreneurs who learn to see what they cannot see make better strategic decisions, build stronger teams, and avoid self-sabotage that stalls growth.
