The Power of Servant Leadership: Overcoming Leadership Blind Spots to Strengthen Decision-Making

Blind spots can blur even the best leader’s judgment, interrupting critical decision-making processes like the OODA loop. Are you taking steps to identify and manage yours? Let’s explore how servant leadership can help us keep our vision clear.

Blind spots in leadership can be a silent yet powerful disruptor. Research shows that 10 in 100 leaders fail due to unrecognized blind spots that cloud their judgment and interrupt the OODA loop—Observe, Orient, Decide, Act—a critical decision-making framework. For middle to senior-level managers, these hidden behaviors and biases can hinder effective leadership, harm team dynamics, and…

Flip Hacking Live 2023: The OODA Loop

It is Fall of 2023, and while most people are signing off for the year due to holidays...the most successful people are ramping up to keep up the hustle. My partner and I virtually attended Flip Hacking Live 2023. Love how they utilized Zoom and maximized this event for all involved.

The OODA Loop: A big theme I saw, or commonality, was that these guys were all Military. The OODA loop was developed by John Boyd to help pilots make decisions in high intensity environments. The four basic steps are:

Observe

Orient

Decide

Act

So, let's break this down and do some self application.

Observe: The observations come from the following inputs...

Implicit Guidance & Control: Your intuition, etc.

Unfolding Circumstances: Have a plan but adjust as needed

Outside Information: factors you have to deal with but can't control

Unfolding Interaction with Environment: interacting with your environment.

This is how your environment shapes and affects you.

Orient: The observations feed into how you orient yourself...

Cultural Traditions: some cultures have specific traditions, even if they are in a home away from home. There is also something to be said about no culture.

Analysis & Synthesis: You analyze information and based on what resonates with you, you combine it to form a theory or system.

Previous Experiences: many say experience helps you in future scenarios and yet, be careful what experience you bring up.

New Information: we live in an age of technology and honestly there is too much information.

Genetic Heritage: information about people based on biological descendants and relationships.

This would make, what others call, your bias. It is so important to know your bias.

Decide: Based on your implicit guidance and control you make a decision (or a hypothesis). At this point in the loop, you can start getting feedback and adjust based on feedback.

Act: Once we make a guess or decision, we act or test our guess. We get feedback based on the test and unfolding interaction with the environment.

The brain has two sides: the gut/instinctual side and the problem solving/logic side. When something is new, it starts in the logic side. Once you do it enough, its intuition. Also, information or choices are input and lack of input is also input. Your system is you, your principles are: people, purpose/vision, principles, and playbook. Think like a CEO. Proximity and Perspective is Power.

While I feel like this was the central theme, what other goodies were there? Luxury market flippers, marketing, tactics, principles, affirmations, mindset, how to hire, alternative scripts, 3 legged business stool. My favorite part was Bruce Norris, from TNG, about how we are in unprecedented times. Flip Hacking Live offered a new kind of training, and I am excited for those who signed up for it. Who else watched this, or even attended it in person?

Lets Make Situational Awareness An Everywhere Thing

So much is made about situational awareness for personal defense. The need to recognize who and what is around you to keep yourself and family safe. Developing skills to help you determine who are threats, what are environmental conditions, where are exit/escape routes are part of personal protection skills that go far beyond the physical techniques. These are subjects covered by Randy King, Rory…

A small army of scientists and engineers are gathered in a windowless room in a secret location in Beijing. They are working on a plan to stop the US from interfering with China's Gallium and Geranium-based chip production. The Chinese government has been investing heavily in these two minerals in order to build a strong chip supply chain. But the US has been trying to disrupt this process by cutting off the supply of Gallium and Geranium. The Chinese scientists and engineers are confident that they can find a way to overcome the US interference. They are working hard to develop a plan that will keep China's chip supply chain running smoothly.

Everyone, everywhere, and at any time, can be affected by an emergency. Being prepared can make a massive difference in a tragedy, an accident, or other potentially life-threatening events. The OODA Loop is one of the best mental exercises for crisis preparation. You can quickly assess a situation, decide, and act Thanks to the OODA Loop, which consists of four steps.

This is real. This is a cybersecurity, law, policy, and roles and missions of the Federal Government. This is not a technology issue on how to take them down - that's easy.

A complex swarm of drones wanders at will over the largest American National Security Joint Base cluster. Langley Air Force Base, Ft. Eustis (now a joint base with Langley), Yorktown Naval Weapons Station, Norfolk Naval Station, Norfolk Naval Air Station, Little Creek Amphibious Base, Oceana Naval Air Station, Dam Neck Annex (Seal Team 6), etc. etc. etc.

This cluster of bases in Virginia is the largest single concentration of U.S. Military resources, units, and equipment. And someone just flew a drone swarm for 17 days as the Department of Defense and the Inter-Agency process went bonkers.

Step 1 on any new, complex, national security issue is answering this question: Who will be the lead Department or Agency to address the developing crisis?

I’m sure the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the National Security Council, and the National Military Command Center were doing Cheetah Flips and Flap-Exs on steroids to answer this question. Well the threat actor flew for 17 days with no interruption.

Apparently they are inside our OODA-Loop and our inter-agency process is not fast or agile enough to take action.

Not good at all. Was it China or Iran? Likely

PDCAやOODAに代わる「SOUNDメソッド」とは？　変化が激しい時代におけるマネジメントのポイント - ログミーBiz

PDCAサイクルやOODAループに代わるものとして作り出せるんじゃないかと思って、それに代わるものとして、「SOUND」という言葉でプロセスを表現させてもらったんですね。それが、この「Should」→「Will」→「Could be」→「Should」→「Can」という流れなんです。

最初に問題認識を棚卸し（Should）して、「どうしたいんだっけ？」と自らに問うて（Will）、「今後どうなるんだっけ？」を見極めて（Could be）、自分たちがすべきことを決めて課題を決めて（Should）解きにいく（Can）。そのプロセスをクルクル回していくことが、今後は大事なんじゃないかと思っているんですね。

Okay so since we did Chinggis, how about the other Big Conqueror Generals? Alexander of Macedon, Attila, Timur, Napoleon?

(Several asked for some of these in other asks)

Alexander the Pretty Good: So at this point I think everyone knows that his father Phillip was the "state builder", who created the new systems of Macedonian drill and mobilization infrastructure, handing Alexander a strong army he did not build. And Greece really was hitting a nadir of power, the post-Spartan era fragmenting alliances and exhausting the stronger city states. So it is fair to say that Alexander is overvalued, any Macedon king probably could have taken over Greece at that time. Additionally, when you study his "vast" conquests, its actually really just Greece & then Persia like five times, its him beating one opponent and then mopping up, and having the material advantage most of the time once you get rid of the hagiography.

But starting from Alexander the Great's height gives you an extremely long way to fall; he is overvalued, but still incredibly high VOR. He has the irreplaceable synergistic value of ambition & charisma; he decided to conquer the world, and got a huge list of allies, often ones he had himself fought in battle, to help him do it. Most people never conceive of that as actually being possible - in particular Alexander was not provoked or forced into his confrontations with Persia (establishing hegemony over Greece was more of a coincidence, but I think he would have found an excuse). And while his military achievements are exaggerated he obviously was talented, particularly at logistics - projecting power that wide is a nearly unparalleled feat in his time, and not something Macedonia was built to do before him. So I will go with A+

Atilla is discussed here, weak, C-/D+

Timur - never studied him actually! Its my issue being a Europe & East Asia guy, I know Gengis/Temujin because he is tied up with the Jin, but Timur never quite got around to the Ming conquest

Napoleon: Very complicated, provisional opinions. The Napoleonic wars scope is in fact quite contingent; its a constant back and forth of revolutionary ambition from France to spread itself, reactionary forces in the monarchies to fight back, rebellions and opportunities. Napoleon was not someone who engineered the whole thing by any means, he was given a chance to shine and he took it. Revolutionary France, constantly at war, was pretty much always going to arrive at something like a military leadership.

Additionally, he often gets too much credit for civil reforms of things like the Napoleonic Code; the process for formulating the Code started in the first National Assemblies in 1791, and multiple drafts of a new, universal code had been made when Napoleon was in power. He ordered it to stop dillydallying and make it happen, don't get me wrong, that is points. But its also the kind of thing dictators can do, right? So its a bit of a question of how likely a military ruler centralizing authority at all in France was. I think kind of high? I don't view Napoleon as an Augustus figure. So I think his VOR would have had kind of similar power. Napoleon did not have grand insights into what the legal code should, from what I know. On things like these I think he is getting credit for the fact that his name in in the title that maybe he shouldn't.

But there is a reason he became Emperor of France - he is a grade A military genius. His rep here is deserved - of course he was taking advantage of smart officers, existing innovations, etc, dude ain't forging cannons himself. But he put it all together, truly did push the use of artillery forward, and he was tirelessly creative on the battlefield. He was a famous workaholic, memorizing every map and coordinating every part of the battle himself, in ways that just put him ahead of the curve of his opponents. He is a classic OODA loop guy - he is getting information, putting a plan forward, getting new information, and pivoting the plan faster than everyone else, and he keeps winning on the back of it.

And then the rep you get from that string of wins inspired morale, commitment, diligence, and more from his men and officers that compounds. That last part is important - making an army takes time, its about relationships. You couldn't just slot the Duke of Wellington in as commander of the French and expect it to work the same. Due to that, the VOR for having Napoleon leading your armies in 1805 is literally irreplaceable. There is not single other person in existence who can deliver greater value, and I think that is very clear - and at margins that are very rare.

But of course he has his share of mistakes, particularly in naval affairs, over time his enemies internalize his innovations, and his reach exceeds his grasp. In particular he had multiple opportunities to "settle" for gains where France is first amoung equals, and he doesn't take it, and it all comes undone. He could have been S tier if he learned that. But alas, I think it puts him at A.
