The Billion Dollar Blind$pot is a timely and practical guide to one of the most underestimated drivers of performance: culture. Hacia Atherton bridges operational discipline with human leadership, showing how psychological safety, trust, and emotional intelligence directly impact execution and results. This is not theory or HR fluff. It’s a clear-eyed look at the leadership blind spots that quietly erode value, and what operators can do about them. A must-read for leaders navigating growth, change, and complexity.
