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• How coaching helps rewire outdated beliefs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?”
