327| The Invisible Filter That's Hijacking Your Leadership
Manage episode 517506857 series 2853118
You know that feeling when you walk into a room and instantly know who's going to irritate you? Or when feedback makes your body tense before your brain even processes the words? That's not intuition. That's your Leadership Lens at work. Today I'm pulling back the curtain on the invisible filter that's making your decisions before you even realize it, and why this is the real reason all those leadership books aren't fixing what you thought they would.
💬 "Most leaders spend their whole careers trying to change what they're looking at instead of adjusting how they're seeing it."
Want to Go Deeper?Ready to stop managing your lens and start mastering it?
Book a Leadership Strategy Call to discover which of your three filters is running your life and how to finally see clearly. 👉 TamiMarieCoaching.com/call
- Your Leadership Lens has 3 filters making decisions before you do: Core drivers (unchangeable), personality wiring (your 30-year-old autopilot), and internal narratives (stories on repeat)
- You're not broken, your lens is just outdated - like wearing scratched 20-year-old prescription glasses and wondering why you keep hitting the same walls
- Surface solutions can't fix root issues - It's like putting premium gas in a car with a broken transmission
- When you bring things to light, they lose power over you - This is why awareness without integration is just noise
- Your next level isn't about doing more, it's about seeing differently - And that starts with seeing your lens
➡️ The Reed Hastings story at minute 8 - How the Netflix CEO almost destroyed the company because his lens was "I'm smarter than everyone" and what shifted when he finally changed it. This is the pattern I see in every executive who's stuck.
💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it:This week, notice your physical reaction BEFORE your brain processes feedback. When someone challenges you in a meeting, pause and ask: "Is this my lens or is this actually happening?" Track what you discover. Your patterns will shock you.
📝 Journal Prompt for Reflection:"What criticism from my past am I still hearing in today's conversations? How is my 20-year-old lens affecting my current leadership?"
