One of my favorite leadership lessons from John Maxwell, guru in leadership development, is that we all have blind spots.  According to Maxwell, a blind spot is "an area in the lives of people in which they continually do not see themselves or their situation realistically."  Blind spots usually refer to areas where we misinterpret our ability and are "blind" to the negative implications that has on others.  All of us have blind spots...thinking that we don't is a blind spot!

One effective way to identify our leadership blind spots is to conduct a 360-degree survey.  This is a powerful professional development tool, designed to positively impact a leader's growth and the organization's overall performance. 

The most effective 360 degree surveys are customized to measure the leadership competencies most important to achieving your unique strategy.  The best 360 tools also allow you to choose/edit survey questions to reflect your organization's values and priorities.
