7 Leadership Blind Spots Costing You $2.3M Per Senior Hire

The Executive’s Guide to Building Tomorrow’s Leaders from Your Current Team

Stop hiring expensive external executives when your next VP is already on your payroll.

73% of companies consistently overlook internal talent that could fill senior roles at half the cost and twice the cultural fit. After coaching hundreds of executives through platforms like BetterUp and CoachHub, I’ve identified the seven critical blind spots that sabotage internal talent development.

The reality: Your competitors are recruiting your future leaders because you don’t see their potential yet.

What You’ll Discover

 The Performance Review Trap – Why annual reviews hide your best leadership candidates

 The AI Integration Gap – How technology is creating invisible performance divides in your team

 The Stakeholder Invisibility Problem – Why your top performers lose promotions to external candidates who interview better than they perform

 The Development vs. Deployment Confusion – How “challenging assignments” are burning out your best people instead of developing leaders

 The Culture-Strategy Misalignment – Why your culture is selecting against the leaders you need for future success

 The Feedback Famine – How your highest-potential people are getting zero developmental guidance

 The Succession Planning Illusion – Why your succession plans are names in boxes, not development pipelines

Plus: A complete 90-day implementation roadmap with templates, frameworks, and success metrics.
