In this episode, Marcel Schwantes sits down with Martin Dubin to unpack the blindspots that quietly sabotage leaders.

Key Insights:

• Blind spots aren’t flaws — they’re unseen patterns. Marty explained how our minds naturally focus on familiar territory, leaving some behaviors invisible to us.
• Six areas to watch: identity, motives, traits, emotions, intellect, and behavior — all interconnected layers that shape how leaders show up.
• Awareness beats overhaul. Growth happens through small, intentional adjustments, not massive self-reinventions.
• Humility is the gateway to insight. The best leaders don’t try to be perfect — they stay curious about what they might be missing.
• Self-awareness drives effectiveness. Understanding your motives and emotional triggers helps you lead with more clarity, empathy, and confidence.
