Every driver has a blind spot. That’s why cars come with mirrors and you come with honest friends.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

There are things about you that everyone else can see and you cannot, not because you are avoiding them but because you are inside the view. No amount of self-examination fixes this, since the information is simply not available from where you stand. It has to be handed to you by someone willing to say it.

Pick one person who is honest with you and ask a direct question you are slightly afraid of. What is it like to disagree with me, or what do I do that I do not seem to notice? Then let them answer without defending yourself, which is the whole cost of the information.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Which friend tells you the truth you would rather skip?
