Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Our team has patterns that everyone outside us seems to see clearly while none of us inside it can
- I know in the abstract that I have blind spots, but I couldn’t name a single one
- The instant someone gives me hard feedback I’m already explaining and defending myself
- I keep saying "that’s just not who I am" and steering clear of anything that doesn’t fit my picture of myself
- Every time something goes sideways we replay it looking for who dropped the ball, and the wins we never examine at all
