Leadership Blind Spots: What Changes After the Promotion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode offers clarity, language, and a path forward.
🎙️ A masterclass disguised as a conversation.
Because the leaders who grow next are the ones willing to see what was previously invisible.
The hardest part of leadership isn’t getting promoted—it’s what happens after the title changes.
In this episode, hosts Dr. Marilyn Carroll and Dr. Jamie Chesler are joined by Sheila R. Carmichael to explore the invisible shifts that even high-performing leaders can miss.
As leaders move into director, VP, and executive roles, the rules quietly change:
- Influence replaces execution
- Perception outweighs intention
- Presence matters as much as performance
Together, they unpack:
- Why leadership blind spots emerge after promotion—and why they’re hardest to see at senior levels
- How smart, capable leaders unintentionally stall their own impact
- The difference between executive presence and performative confidence
- How power distorts communication, listening, and feedback loops
- When a personal blind spot becomes an organizational risk
- What leaders must stop doing—and start seeing—to lead at the next level
This conversation blends neuroscience, coaching insight, psychology, and real-world leadership experience—without shame, hype, or oversimplified advice.
If you’ve ever felt like leadership got harder after you proved yourself…
If feedback feels murkier the higher you go…
If your intent isn’t landing the way you expect…
