Over the past couple of months, I have done numerous 360-degree assessments and debriefs with leaders across the ranks.

While the results are highly personalized based on the specific feedback from direct reports, colleagues and managers, there are also some themes that stand out to me as broader common challenges for leaders. In this episode, I'll share with you my personal observations on what those are.

As we approach the holiday break, I invite you to listen to this episode and set aside some time to self-reflect on this past year and how you want to show up as a leader and grow in the new year. Think about your personal development goals and which of these 5 blind spots you might be impacted by as well as how you can address them in the new year.
