Blind Spots in your leadership

What are they? How do you know? Who will tell you that you have them?
Identify them. Be aware of them. Just like blind spots when you are driving, you should constantly be managing those areas to make sure you don’t change lanes and there is a car right next to you.
You have to be doubly aware of the areas you are weakest in order to effectively manage those areas. But, being aware doesn’t mean constantly “working” on your blind spots. Spend time working and focused in your areas of strength. Just make sure to check in the mirrors on the left, right and rearview on a regular basis to know what is happening around you.

Blind spots? How about blind, gaping holes? That my vision.
I’m reminded of Roman soldiers in formation. Each had a specific job, and part of that job was to guard the blind spot of the soldier next to them. That’s how the body of Christ should be functioning. Not that we give up the responsibility of our blind spots to others, but that we trust them that they’re looking out for us… and take responsibility to look out for them.
Great post. It’s sparked some ideas for me.
