No business leader is perfect. We all have weaknesses, regardless of our many talents and successes.

Fortunately, most ambitious business leaders tend to share a natural desire for self-improvement along with a keen attention to their own effectiveness. The very best leaders amongst us are brutally honest with themselves, seeing reality for what it is and then taking action to address those weaknesses. But how can they begin to deal with the weaknesses and threats they just can't see? What about their blind spots?

A blind spot can be defined as 'any area in the lives of people in which they continually do not see themselves or their situation realistically'. Blind spots can affect anyone and everyone and a significant risk occurs to the whole business when leaders and teams fail to address them.

Even in the healthiest of business environments, individual or collective weaknesses and threats can slip through the management net. Force of habit, culture, over-confidence in one's own capabilities, and the lack of quality feedback from overly deferential subordinates, are just some of the factors that get in the way.

So how can business leaders see past their blind spots to ensure that they are not misled about their performance and, more importantly, fail to provide the kind of objective, supportive and collaborative leadership that their people deserve?

The answer invariably points towards high quality coaching. To skillfully identify and manage our own vulnerabilities often requires an external, objective stimulus to challenge our perceptions and encourage healthy, open dialogue. That's where company coaching comes in.
