Are you the leader you think you are? Research reveals a startling truth: while 95% of people believe they're self-aware, only 10-15% actually are. That means there's an 85% chance you're leading with blind spots you don't even know exist—and they're costing your organization more than you realize.

In this hard-hitting episode of Engage and Inspire, host Scott Liles exposes the gap between leader intention and actual impact, backed by eye-opening data:

• Why 99% of leaders believe they communicate change effectively—while 1 in 4 employees disagrees
• The "manager paradox": leaders are 7.6% more self-aware but 2.69% less capable of resolving team conflict
• How ineffective communication costs U.S. organizations $1.2 trillion annually
• The neuroscience of power: why rising leaders actually become neurologically less empathetic

Scott introduces practical tools to shatter the "CEO bubble," including the Ladder of Inference framework and the "Feedback 180" exercise. Plus, discover how a 20% increase in emotional intelligence can add $15,000–$20,000 to your annual earnings.

Whether you're in the C-suite or on the front lines, this episode will transform how you see yourself—and how your team sees you.
