Freed to Lead
Helping leaders and their teams understand, mitigate, and prevent blind spots that inhibit leadership and damage relationships.
In Greek Mythology, Achilles was known as a gifted and valiant warrior.
But his name is associated with something else entirely. Many top-tier executives run the same risk. Often hidden behind their exceptional abilities are underdeveloped areas —weak spots— that they may not see but others see quite clearly. These blind spots hold the potential to do to them what a heel did to Achilles.

Mitigate Your Blind Spots
A universal Achilles heel that every leader must address is the health of their team or teams. A dysfunctional team can severely damage the impact and influence of a leader. A healthy team with strong relationship intelligence that navigates conflict productively can be the best protection for a leader and help them identify and mitigate their blind spots.
Exceptional Leaders
Are you open to exploring tough questions?
- What is my Achilles Heel?
- What negative elements of my leadership am I blind to that others may see so clearly?
- Do I have the skills to overcome blind spots and prevent future ones from forming?
- What if I’ve repeatedly tried to address my weak spots and failed? Then what?
