The Leadership Blind Spot

The Deliberate Leaders Podcast challenges conventional thinking and inspires action. The episode addresses The Leadership Blind Spot around the concept that knowing and not doing is equivalent to not knowing at all. Many leaders pride themselves on being informed, but the information is useless without action. The Problem: •  Knowing doesn't mean anything without action. •  Leaders often know what they should do but fail to act. •  Example: Leaders know they need to delegate more but continue to hoard tasks. Knowing without doing leads to burnout. •  Many business owners know they should manage their finances but avoid it. •  Leaders know their team needs constructive feedback but avoid tough conversations. •  Many know personal growth is important but put off coaching and development. •  Hesitation to act stems from fear of failure, lack of accountability, and comfort in the status quo. •  Being unwilling to risk doing the wrong thing may mean you're already doing the wrong thing by staying still. Solutions: •  Start small: Choose one thing to act on this week. •  Find an accountability partner. •  Measure progress, not perfection: Celebrate action, even if the outcome isn't perfect. "Clarity comes from engagement, not thought". Challenge: •  Identify something you know you should be doing but aren't. •  Write it down and commit to taking action. •  The only thing worse than not knowing is knowing and doing nothing. •  Your edge in business is doing better, not just knowing more. Call to Action: •  Share the episode with other leaders. •  Consider coaching to help close the gap between knowing and doing About the Host: Allison Dunn •  Host of the Deliberate Leaders Podcast •  Business Coach •  Founder of Deliberate Directions Connect: •  Website: Deliberate Directions •  Podcast: Deliberate Leaders Podcast Reminder: Subscribe and leave a review to support the podcast!
