Warning, common leader pitfalls!

What if I told you that you have a hidden enemy in your mind? An enemy that can sabotage your thinking and decision making as a leader. An enemy that can make you lose sight of reality, miss opportunities, and damage your reputation…eek, right?

This enemy is called a mind trap. And it’s not just one, but 6 of them. They are:

• The people pleaser: You say yes to everyone and everything, even if it means betraying your own values and goals.
• The blamer: You point fingers at others for your failures, instead of owning up to your mistakes and learning from them.
• The micro-manager: You control every aspect of your work and your team, creating stress and inefficiency for yourself and others.
• The first impressionist: You judge people and situations based on your gut feelings, and you refuse to change your mind even when new facts prove you wrong.
• The monday morning quarterback: You criticize yourself and others harshly based on hindsight, ignoring the complexity and uncertainty of the real world.
• The spin doctor: You twist information and facts to fit your agenda, and you reject any feedback that challenges your views.

These mind traps can ruin your leadership performance, such as:

• Lowering your self-confidence and motivation
• Damaging your relationships and reputation
• Reducing your creativity and innovation
• Increasing your stress and anxiety
• Decreasing your productivity and quality

But don’t worry. There is a way to defeat these mind traps. And it starts with knowing which one is your dominant one.
