The Diagonal Opposite Quadrant Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results We actually have a formula that will help somebody understand what their blind spots are.
There are four quadrants in a business: strategy, business development, operations, and finance. There are subcategories underneath those, but those are the four main ones.
And you tend to be strong in one. You tend to be okay in the other two. There tends to be one that you have a blind spot in.
And we call it the diagonal opposite quadrant. So if you're a strategy, results-driven person, you tend to struggle with process. That tends to be a blind spot.
If you're a process person, your blind spot might be getting results or urgency, meeting deadlines. If you're a biz dev person, finance tends to be your blind spot. If you're a finance person, biz dev tends to be your blind spot.
It's the diagonal opposite quadrant that creates the blind spot, right? So you're driving in your car. You can see the seat behind you. You can see the seat you're in.
You can see the back seat in the corner but can't see right around that little corner. So, the seat next to you is the one that you need somebody to look in to cover your blind spot. The same thing when you're in a business is one of those quadrants will almost always be a blind spot.
What we've learned over the years since 1990 is that 10 to 30% of growth and immediate impact is sitting in your blind spot. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.
