Currently there are well over 15,000 published articles and books on leadership.
Focus is on skills, characteristics and behaviors of successful and effective leaders.
There are fewer resources identifying and describing ineffective leadership practices.
Hogan, 2001, according to their research, believe that between 50-75% of leaders are not performing well, they are ineffective.
Burke, 2006

Blakeley, 2007, it is more important to investigate the blind spots of leaders and those in authority as it will normally have more impact.
The higher the position, the more power a person wields the more significant and the blind spot(s) will have over the people involved and on the organization.

“Awareness should not be confused with introspection or insight; rather, ‘at its best, awareness is a continuous means for keeping up to date with one’s self…It is always there, like an underground stream, ready to be tapped into when needed, a refreshing and revitalizing experience’ “ (Polster & Polster, 1973, pp. 211-212).

Studies have been conducted (Greenwald, 1980, Alicke, 1985, Zuckerman, 1979, Munro, 2009) that indicate people generally over-estimate their standing on most positive characteristics and engage in self-serving attributional thinking.
When information threatens people’s positive views of themselves, they will seek to ignore, discredit or minimize the significance of the threatening information (Munro, 2009).
