Brilliant list. When I was researching self aware leadership these barriers - I call them roadblocks and trip hazards - became really apparently. And this is a really excellent list!! Thanks for compiling!!
From experience training leaders, #3 and accountability is one of the biggest challenges to overcome. I'm not sure if anyone truly enjoys it (aside from the occasional sadistic one), but the magic of accountability is that it shows the person that they're seen- even if it's not under the best circumstances. It shows that someone is paying attention and notices them- which hopefully will correct the behavior for all of the right reasons.
Love that Steve. Humility also softens the topic. If the leader has the humility to be transparent around where they're trying to improve, it shows the team that candor and accountability is a 2-way street.
