mental blindspots, by their nature, purposefully hide themselves from your view, & they like to hide themselves from others' views as well thus, by Tyler Durden power, the leader's blindspots become the group's blindspots even if consciously the leader doesn't want this!
this is kind of what the Guru Papers is about—how even very well-intentioned leaders end up finding attractors towards having their blindspots magnified
I don't have a clear solution to this! I remember realizing unnervingly that this collective blindspot phenomenon that has frustrated me multiple times would, by default, happen to anything I might lead as well.
I do have some parts of an approach though, some of which are contained in this thread (and in general my entire NNTD framework is about this puzzle)
oh and I suppose this happens with families, too! (obvious once I considered it) parents' blindspots become the children's, and so on (tho only sometimes; sometimes it oscillates by generation)
oh man I have no idea how I didn't link this earlier part of what's crazy about this is that your subconscious/unconscious aims are willing to make certain kinds of move that you aren't. so it can outmanouver you
