343: Seeing What You Can’t See – Uncovering Leadership Blind Spots

Rich BaronMaikel Bailey
Rich Baron & Maikel Bailey

Episode Notes

What is one of the most overlooked threats to leadership effectiveness: Blind Spots. These aren’t flaws of intelligence, character, or intention—they’re gaps in self-awareness that quietly derail progress, erode trust, and limit impact. In short, they are just the angles you can't see from where you're standing.

Great leaders don’t just seek answers—they seek perspective. Because what you don’t know you’re missing can hurt far more than what you know needs fixing.

In this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT, Rich and Maikel explore how to identify blind spots before they become breaking points—and how courage, humility, and meaningful feedback become the tools that sharpen your leadership edge.
