Maria, the CEO of a successful genomics startup, exemplifies how vital leadership qualities can paradoxically lead to team dysfunction. Despite her warm demeanor and impressive company growth, feedback from her team revealed her confidence often transitioned into dismissiveness during decision-making. As conversations stalled and team members hesitated to express differing views, the organization's atmosphere became stifling. Insights from a clinical psychologist emphasize her blindspot, where pivotal strengths transformed into detrimental behaviors, ultimately imperiling the team dynamic and causing key leaders to depart.
