5 Leadership Blindspots Every Pastor Must Address | BlindSpotting by Will Mancini
The pressures on pastors and ministry leaders are at an all-time high. We’re expected to be visionaries, CEOs, counselors, and social media influencers all rolled into one. It’s enough to make anyone’s vision a little blurry.
Ministry leadership demands more than ever before. This book addresses the hidden barriers that keep even the best leaders from reaching their full potential.
Introducing BlindSpotting
After writing Church Unique, God Dreams, and Future Church, I wanted to address something that kept coming up in my coaching conversations: the blindspots that derail otherwise talented leaders.
BlindSpotting isn’t about what you don’t know. It’s about what you don’t know you don’t know – the invisible barriers that shape your decisions, drain your energy, and limit your impact without you even realizing it.
Five Categories of Blindspots
The book explores five major categories of leadership blindspots:
- Vision Blindspots – When you can’t see where you’re actually going
- Team Blindspots – When you miss what’s happening with your people
- Self Blindspots – When your own patterns work against you
- Culture Blindspots – When the water you swim in becomes invisible
- Calling Blindspots – When you lose sight of why you started
Each chapter includes diagnostic questions and practical exercises to help you identify your specific blindspots and develop strategies to address them.
