Break free from the beliefs that hold you back.As a leader, do you find yourself frustrated, wondering why employees don''t meet expectations, peers are slow to act, or pressure from your boss falls unfairly on your shoulders? It''s easy to point a finger at others and double down on getting results. But have you ever considered that the problem might not be them—that it might be you?Through countless hours coaching executives over the past twenty years, C-suite adviser Muriel M. Wilkins has pinpointed the biggest reason behind these common leadership challenges: hidden blockers. These unconscious beliefs can actively stall progress if leaders aren''t aware of their existence, preventing them from seeing a situation clearly, solving problems effectively, and advancing their careers.In Leadership Unblocked, Wilkins reveals seven key beliefs that hold leaders back, from "I know I''m right" to "I need to be involved" to "I don''t belong here." Combining illustrative and powerful coaching conversations and research from the fields of neuroscience, leadership, and adult development theory, Wilkins offers a self-coaching guide for identifying, unpacking, and breaking through these barriers.By using the practical advice in this book, leaders and aspiring leaders alike can cultivate the mindset to achieve their goals and finally become the leaders they want to be.
