765: How to See What’s Holding You Back, with Marty Dubin

The podcast explores how leaders can identify and address personal blind spots that hinder their progress. Marty Dubin, a clinical psychologist and business coach, explains that a mismatch between one's identity and current role often leads to these blind spots. Dubin recounts his experience as a CEO still identifying as a psychologist, which led to overlooking critical business data. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing how deeply ingrained identities, such as being a "rebel" or "invisible glue," can limit one's effectiveness in evolving roles. Practical steps include analyzing one's calendar to align time allocation with role requirements and proactively embodying the desired identity through consistent, small behavioral changes.
