E108 | Leadership Blind Spots: How to Influence Without Losing Integrity | Dr. Adeyinka Adewale

Want to lead with confidence, influence others without control, and build trust at work? Learn how to spot leadership blind spots, develop emotional intelligence, and create psychologically safe teams.

In Episode 108 of The 4 Habits Podcast, Dr. Andrea and Jon Taylor-Cummings speak with Dr. Adeyinka Adewale, Associate Professor of Leadership and Entrepreneurship at Henley Business School. Together they explore how influence, integrity and self-awareness shape the quality of our relationships at work and in life.

You’ll learn how to recognise your own blind spots using the Johari Window model, and why the habit of observation without judgment instantly reduces defensiveness and builds trust. Discover how to “connect before you correct,” reclaim moral courage in the workplace, and lead with authentic influence instead of authority.

Key themes: ethical leadership, emotional intelligence, relationship habits for leaders, trust building, and values-based decision making.
