Blind Spots that Derail Careers

Fast Company's Stephanie Vozza writes this week about the need for accurate self-assessment.  She argues that being blind about our weaknesses can derail our careers.  She cites a new book by Kellogg School of Management Professor Carter Cast.   In his book, Cast describes five blind spots that impede our careers:

1. A me-first attitude that leads to poor listening skills
2. Micromanaging others, hindering your ability to build and lead a team
3. Being too comfortable with routines and resisting change
4. Having narrow perspectives on business that undermine your ability to be strategic
5. Not following through on promises due to poor organization or task management skill
