Because the stuff you can’t see causes most of the chaos.

You have blind spots. Even if you don’t like to admit it, they’re there. They show up in the miscommunication you notice but can’t explain, the repeated mistakes that frustrate you, the tension in meetings, or that vague sense of “why does this keep happening?”

The problem isn’t that blind spots exist. The problem is ignoring them.

Your team doesn’t struggle because they lack intelligence or skill. They struggle because thinking stays stuck in the same patterns, assumptions go unchallenged, and people who sound like you keep agreeing with you instead of questioning the status quo.

This is where Diversity of Thought becomes more than a nice idea. It becomes essential.

When you encourage and welcome different perspectives, things become clearer. You notice what you might have missed. You question steps you’ve normalised. And when someone asks, “Why are we still doing it this way?” suddenly the fog lifts, and so do the solutions.

This is where Weird Wisdom® comes in.

Your perspective matters most when it challenges the default, questions the script, or brings the inconvenient idea to the table. That’s the thinking that transforms work. When you deliberately create space for difference, in yourself and others, blind spots start to disappear.

If you can sit with unknowns, embrace discomfort, explore unconventional thinking, and recognise the value of paradox, your blind spots don’t just vanish they turn into progress.

Here’s a question for you:

What’s something you’ve been avoiding looking at, not because it’s unimportant, but because it might require change?

That’s your blind spot.
And it’s your biggest opportunity.
