Case Study 01 – The Founder's Blindspot

When does vision obscure the limits of self-awareness—and what does it reveal about leadership, trust, or system design?

When vision obscures the limits of self-awareness.



Case Study 01 – The Founder's Blindspot examines a leadership dilemma in which a founder's compelling vision becomes so influential that critical feedback, alternative perspectives, and emerging risks begin to fade from view. What once fueled innovation can gradually limit self-awareness, making it more difficult to recognize personal blind spots or adapt to changing realities. This workbook invites readers to explore the relationship between vision and humility, examine the role of feedback in responsible leadership, and cultivate the self-awareness and stewardship practices that enable leaders to remain both decisive and open to correction.
