The Blind Spot: Where True Transformation Begins
Have you ever felt trapped in systems that consistently produce results nobody wants? Perhaps it's a toxic workplace culture, a failing healthcare system, or personal patterns keeping you stuck. What if the key to transformation isn't what we do or how we do it, but the inner place from which we operate? This is the revolutionary insight at the heart of Theory U. While we're excellent at examining what leaders do and how they do it, we rarely investigate the source from which they operate - their "blind spot." This invisible dimension shapes everything yet remains largely unexamined. As former Hanover Insurance CEO Bill O'Brien noted, "The success of an intervention depends on the interior condition of the intervener." Think about an artist facing a blank canvas. What determines what emerges isn't just technique or materials, but the inner place from which creativity flows. Similarly, leaders create from an inner source that remains hidden yet determines outcomes more powerfully than visible actions. By becoming aware of our inner places of operation in real time, we can begin to act differently and change the system. The strategic leverage point for transforming any social field lies at this interface between visible and invisible dimensions - it's the only part of our consciousness we can fully control. **Takeaway:** Your greatest leverage for change isn't your actions but the inner place from which those actions originate.
