Join The 5-Day Mindset Audit For Leaders
Self-awareness – knowing both how you see yourself and how others see you – is a very important skill for effective leadership.
While 95% of people believe they’re self-aware, a 5-year study by Harvard Business Review found the real number is much lower: only 10–15% actually are.
That’s a huge gap – and it matters. When you’re not fully aware of your thought habits, it’s easy to fall into loops – repeating the same conversations, avoiding hard decisions, or missing friction within your team.
The Mindset Audit helps you break those patterns by surfacing the beliefs, biases, and blind spots quietly driving your leadership. With that kind of clarity and the sharper self-awareness that comes from it, you can lead with more intention – and get better results.
Here’s What to Expect:
Day 1: Rethinking Your Default Approach – Use a powerful mental model to reframe a current leadership challenge and uncover what you might be missing.
Day 2: Questioning Your Beliefs – Identify a core belief you’ve been carrying about leadership and explore whether it’s helping – or holding you back.
Day 3: Catching Cognitive Bias – Notice when your thinking may be steering you off course, and learn how to reset your perspective mid-decision.
Day 4: Getting Comfortable with Disagreement – Invite honest feedback and practice listening without defensiveness to build trust and clarity.
Day 5: Practicing Intellectual Humility – Reflect on a time you were wrong and how owning it strengthened your leadership, not weakened it.
Once the challenge wraps up, we’ll shift gears to explore how personality shapes thinking styles – and how leaders can use this insight to support their teams. You’ll learn how to help people with different personalities audit and strengthen their own critical thinking muscles.

Ready to Rethink How You Lead?
If the sobering self-awareness stat we shared earlier reveals anything, it’s that most of us rarely slow down long enough to notice the patterns shaping our choices and conversations.
The Mindset Audit is your chance to hit pause, reflect, and lead with more clarity and intention. Because once you understand how you think, everything else gets easier.
Whether you’ve been with us from the start or just found Leadership by 16Personalities today, we’re so glad you’re here to celebrate one year with us.
Let the celebrations begin – see you Monday! 🥳
