1 Seek feedback

One of the most effective ways to uncover your blind spots is to seek feedback from others who can provide you with honest and constructive insights. You can ask your manager, peers, direct reports, mentors, or coaches to share their observations, suggestions, and expectations of you in your new role. You can also use formal or informal tools, such as 360-degree feedback surveys, self-assessments, or personality tests, to compare your self-perception with others' perspectives. The key is to be open-minded, curious, and respectful when receiving feedback, and to avoid defensiveness, denial, or rationalization.

Having navigated through multiple roles in the past 28 years, I would say when starting a new role and determining how to move forward, having a step-wise map is critical to help understand where we are and how to get where we want to go. In any new team environment, we won't have lots of details but with internal conversations we can add information on teams, customers, organization, products and services. We can create diagrams of technologies and systems & Org charts to show relationships. As I begin any new role, I have a wall filled with post-it notes to help structure the information I’m gathering and highlight questions. As I gather information, I’m able to fill in portions of the wall, and identify new areas of focus and learning.

Furthermore, fostering a culture of feedback within your team and organization can significantly enhance collaboration, communication, and personal development. Encouraging regular feedback loops encourages transparency, trust, and continuous improvement, ultimately leading to higher performance and greater job satisfaction for everyone involved. Additionally, leveraging feedback mechanisms like regular one-on-one meetings, team retrospectives, and anonymous suggestion boxes can provide valuable insights into areas for growth and refinement, enabling you to adapt and thrive in your role effectively.

2 Learn from others

Another way to identify and address your blind spots is to learn from others who have more experience, expertise, or exposure in your new role or domain. You can observe, emulate, or consult with role models, mentors, or experts who can demonstrate or explain the best practices, standards, or expectations of your new role. You can also join or create networks, communities, or groups of people who share similar roles, goals, or challenges, and who can offer you support, advice, or resources. The key is to be humble, proactive, and collaborative when learning from others, and to avoid arrogance, isolation, or complacency.

Talk less and listen more! This allows you to observe and learn from different perspectives. Be humble and courageous and reach out to people. Tell them why you value their input and why it matters to you.

3 Experiment and reflect

A third way to identify and address your blind spots is to experiment and reflect on your actions, outcomes, and reactions in your new role. You can try new approaches, methods, or tools that can help you improve your skills, knowledge, or behaviors in your new role. You can also monitor and measure your progress, results, and impact in your new role, and identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, or threats. The key is to be flexible, creative, and courageous when experimenting, and to be honest, critical, and positive when reflecting.

4 Seek coaching

A fourth way to identify and address your blind spots is to seek coaching from a professional or a trusted colleague who can help you develop a personalized plan for your growth and success in your new role. A coach can help you clarify your goals, values, and vision for your new role, and help you identify and prioritize your blind spots and action steps. A coach can also provide you with guidance, feedback, accountability, and encouragement along your journey. The key is to be committed, motivated, and receptive when seeking coaching, and to avoid procrastination, resistance, or dependence.

A coach can give you visibility into your blind spots, challenge your assumptions and hold you accountable. A coach would bring in a unique perspective, provide you with a safe space, cheer you on and be your sounding board.

5 Develop a growth mindset

A fifth way to identify and address your blind spots is to develop a growth mindset that embraces learning, change, and challenge as opportunities for improvement and innovation. A growth mindset can help you overcome your fears, doubts, or biases that may prevent you from recognizing or addressing your blind spots. A growth mindset can also help you foster a positive attitude, a curious mindset, and a resilient spirit that can help you cope with the uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity of your new role. The key is to be optimistic, curious, and resilient when developing a growth mindset, and to avoid pessimism, complacency, or fragility.
